I sapori del giovane Goethe

After more than two hundred years, Viaggio in Italia continues to represent the most famous diary of the Grand Tour ever written. In this book, Laura Melara-Dürbeck retraces the journey from a gastronomic point of view, following in the footsteps of the great Johann Wolfgang Goethe, gourmand ante litteram, who with refined and surprising descriptions leads us on an exciting discovery of the ingredients and dishes of the “country where lemons flourish”: from the simple preparations of Sicilian peasants to the more refined ones of the aristocratic Neapolitan families or picnics in the Roman countryside.
