Many Beautiful Things


This volume  is a model of truth in advertising: it contains exactly what is described on the cover - stories and recipes from Polizzi Generosa.  The village is very fortunate to have had such an eloquent and talented grandson as Vincent Schiavelli.  He did much to put this  town back on the map.  Relaxing with this book is a delightful way to introduce oneself to Polizzi and its food. And in Polizzi, just as throughout all of Sicily, food occupies a very special place in the lives of the people.  Although the book is long out of print, it is available through on-line book sellers such as AbeBooks or Alibris.
