A Thousand Days in Tuscany: A Bittersweet Adventure
In search of "a place that still remembers real life…sweet and salty…each of life dignifying the other," American chef Marlena de Blasi and her Venetian husband set out for Tuscany. In a small village, surrounded by ancient olive groves, they settled into a rudimentary lifestyle that lacked most amenities. (Their new home, a former stable, had no phone or central heating, and only a paltry excuse for a kitchen.) Yet despite the small privations, they flourished; harvesting grapes, gathering chestnuts, foraging for wild mushrooms. A talkative village elder named Barlozzo introduced them to the old ways of this tiny rural community, initiating them into Tuscan traditions and values. An enticing invitation to an unspoiled place.
