Why a Booktrail?
What is it like for a foreigner to live and work in a village in Northern Italy, and become part of the community?
An Italian Home
What you need to know before your trail
Award-winning artist and stage designer Paul Wright and his partner Nicola found out the hard way, struggling through nightmarish and obstructive Italian bureaucracy, but relishing their life as they worked, played, ate and drank alongside the residents of a beautiful, quiet lakeside village.
Travel Guide
From Godalming in Surrey to a small village near Lake Como, this is a story of one man and his partner and their dreams.
Moltrasio
The village on the shores of Lake Como which is familiar to Nicole as she has spent a lot of time here in the past.
There’s a lot to see and enjoy in Moltrasio. The festa takes lace each year and is one of the biggest events on the lake apparently.
It’s a fair and there’s stalls, food and more food in and around the wown. Of course there is a lot of art displays and cultural sights to see too celebrated here.
Torno
The ancient village just across the village of Moltrasio. They have friends here who have just bought a villa
When they work in Torno, it’s a simple and stunning ferry journey just over the lake.
There’s even a little jaunt up to Argegno. When you’ve finished reading the book take another look at the watercolour cover. A nice artistic touch.
