From the world-renowned photographer who for 32 years brought to sailors the adventure, mystery and beauty of the Seven Seas in North America's most-beloved sailing calendar, now comes a magnificent new work a-brim with the romance of Tuscany. The rolling hills, the medieval hill-towns, the luminous sky that inspired the masters of the Renaiscanc is one of nature's and man's most awe inspiring achievements. Photographer Ferenc Mate, a 30 year resident of Tuscany, captures it all throughout the seasons. From brooding castles, to dreamy farmhouses, from tiny hamlets to the endless open landscapes, Mr.Mate's images never cease to amaze- they invite us to dream. Of course Tuscany has the world's best food and wine. So each month's date grid has an insert of the best dish of the season, and a link to the complete recipes. So buonviaggio and buon-appetito.
