What happens if you decide to make a dream come true? Newly retired and looking for more than a vacation, John and Nancy Petralia intrepidly pack a few suitcases and head to the perfect Italian city.
Within days their dream becomes a nightmare.
After residing in two Italian cities, negotiating the roads and healthcare, discovering art, friends, food, and customs, the Petralias learn more than they anticipate--about Italy, themselves, what it means to be American, and what's important in life.
Part memoir, part commentary, quirky and sincere, Not in a Tuscan Villa is about having the courage to step out of your comfort zone and do something challenging in later life.
The adventure recaptures the Petralias' youth, rekindles their romance--and changes their lives forever.
About the Author: John and Nancy Petralia are a retired couple still looking for adventures.
They recently moved to Fort Myers, Florida, a city they hope to love as much as Parma.
