One family’s adventure in an unspoilt corner of Italy.

Maremma Mia chronicles the transformation of an old farmhouse and olive grove in remote Tuscany into a family home. Set in the Maremma, often called “the new Chianti” the book unfolds through the seasons, capturing both the beauty and unpredictability of life abroad.

From the medieval town of Suvereto to wild hills, fertile valleys and a coastline steeped in Etruscan mystery, the narrative weaves together landscape, food, wine, flora, fauna and tradition with vivid portraits of the people who give the region its soul.

Part travel memoir, part social history, the book traces the Maremma’s extraordinary past, from imperial intrigue and Napoleonic upheaval to wartime resistance, while remaining grounded in the everyday rhythms of family life.

Maremma Mia is both an intimate memoir and a love letter to a lesser-known Italy, written for anyone who has ever dreamed of turning a vision into a home.
