Italy, the land of longing – who has ever described this beautiful country more beautifully than our great poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe? Do you know the land where the lemons bloom, The golden oranges glow in the dark foliage, A gentle wind blows from the blue sky, The myrtle stands still and the laurel stands tall, Do you know it well? There! There! I wish I could go with you, my beloved!... And this wonderful country has lost none of its beauty to this day. ‘As soon as I cross the Italian border,” says editor and publisher Martina Meier, “everyday life falls away from me.“ In this book project, we dedicate ourselves to the dream country of Italy – in short stories and fairy tales, in love stories and poems, but also in recipes and personal memories... and enjoy real Italian moments.
