Advance Praise
Salento by 5 delivers well-crafted tales that appeal to all the senses
from steaming mussels and freshly baked bread to traditional folk music and
jagged stones underfoot in the sparkling Adriatic and Ionian Seas. The authors'
great love of and respect for the region shine through in both the prose and
artwork, and the five different voices in this book dive into the traditions,
customs, and cuisine of Puglia like no other I've seen. It's simply a must-read
for anyone interested in southern Italy. –Michelle Fabio Author of 52 Things to See and Do in Calabria
What a charming and unique travel memoir with stories written by
an American couple and the close friends they made during their trips to the
Salento. You'll soon be falling under the spell of this special place and the
people who inhabit it. Viana La Place, author of My
Italian Garden
