This is the perfect holiday read! Salvio Valentini has the enviable job of being the youngest ever mayor of a small, picturesque town in Southern Italy. Although pretty, and with a close-knit community, Montenello is now far from the once majestic place it once was. It has nothing to draw tourists to it; no attractions … Continue reading BLOG TOUR REVIEW – A Dream of Italy by Nicky Pellegrino
