Dinner & A Book - The Stone Boudoir

 The Stone Boudoir by Theresa Maggio is a study of the island of Sicily, and island noted for its ancient history, ancient Greek and Roman ruins along with the influence of the French invaders of the early 18th century with striking stone landscapes and caves containing homes and apartments. Theresa Maggio discovered her roots on her first visit to Sicily. She wrote about the island's history and its colorful people as she reconnected with her family. Stunning stone cave dwellings and lively characters appear throughout the book along with a bountiful cuisine influenced by the Arabs, the Greeks, the French and the Italians. Sicily reflects a rich legacy unknown to most Western travelers.

Linda Luchessi, Professor of Italian Studies and a Dante specialist, is the guest.
