Ceppeto: A Tale of Two Strangers Lost and Found in Italy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781491751329)

"Tuscany is a magical place of sight, sound, food, wine and wonder, all caught in lyrical style by Richard Hadar: But the true magic is the journey between Mr. Hadar, an urbane, pragmatic New Yorker who buys Ceppeto, an old villa in Chianti, and Pasquale, a poor Albanian immigrant, as unlikely a pair as you could find in fiction let alone real life, who form a special bond as they create a paradise on a Tuscan hilltop."

-Bill Persky, five-time Emmy Award winning writer, director, and producer; author of My Life Is a Situation Comedy

"An enchanting, humorous, ultimately inspiring story of two men, polar opposites in every way, who forge a friendship out of their shared passion for a forgotten piece of land in one of the most beautiful corners of Europe."

-Bill Mesce Jr., author of The Advocate and Precis
