Michael Francis

Who Knew La Dolce Vita Was So Funny? When Michael Francis joins an Italian for Beginners class he expects to learn a few simple phrases, but what he gets is a one-way ticket to the chaotic splendor of Italy. Armed with unwavering optimism, and a gift for using verbs in all the wrong tenses, he takes his basic Italian and lets it loose on an unsuspecting country. From standoffs with ill-tempered street vendors, to white-knuckle bus rides on narrow mountain highways, every awkward and embarrassing moment is lost in translation. You'll cringe, cheer and laugh out loud at every hilarious misadventure - including the romance that nobody, not even Michael, saw coming. Get your copy of Only in Italy now - and discover the country no guidebook ever warned you about.
