A Dream of Italy - Nicky Pellegrino

I was happy to read this bit of escapism during lockdown.  The story of three groups of people who are searching for something and all apply to pay one Euro for a home in a remote Italian mountain village.  They all travel to visit their new homes, and reading this book I got the sense of warm summer evenings, red wine and yummy Italian food, and it made me want to pack my bags and move.  Except you can't go anywhere at the moment anyways. 4/5

That's how I felt seeing the movie "Enchanted April" (1991), which takes place largely in Italy. I think you would like that one.
