The second volume of Italy is Calling Series, Tuscan Light: Memories of Italy continues the author and seasoned European traveler Mark Gordon Smith s reflections upon the culture and society of Italy, a nation that has remained robustly stable despite tremendous modern economic and social upheaval. 

Told in first-person perspective and present tense, chapters evoke the varied sights, sounds, people, and flavors of the Italian nation, with a connoisseur's eye for detail and a gourmet palate. When Renaissance scribes created their manuscripts and printers made hand-printed books, they used paper created by artisans, not unlike Anna, women, and men who carry a deep passion for their craft. The culture of Italy unfolds in a special way when we open a leather-bound journal and write pages that have been lovingly sewn tighter. Quality, time, and care all meet when an object of such beauty comes into our lives. 

As much a tribute to Italy's refined wonders as it is a travelogue and memoir, Tuscan Light is especially recommended for armchair travelers and anyone seeking to experience fond memories of a beautiful and passionate nation.
