Graham Hofmann
Italy Unpacked & Wrapped
After having a house as a holiday escape for many years, Graham eventually moved from his native Yorkshire to Umbria, Italy in 2015. He knew, with absolute certainty, that he had fallen in love with this boot-shaped country.
Alongside the personal tale of his life in Umbria, told with light-hearted humour, Graham also digs into what makes Italy, Italia. He questions the truth of some stereotypes, whilst finding ample evidence to support many. Cultural attitudes and behaviours are unpicked, the politics of Italy explained. An attempt is even made to wade through a bewildering bureaucracy that often leaves him completely baffled. And a taste is given of what it's like to live in a country where the ground moves beneath your feet.
Graham will also be reading excerpts from his first book on Italy:
Lorenzo’s Vest
Lorenzo's Vest is an entertaining understanding of Italy and Italians as observed through the eyes of a straniero. Graham takes you by the hand as you join him on his journey as a Brit into the everyday world of Umbria. The journey vividly shows his day-to-day life as a part-time visitor, his immersion into the local community, his experiences, and the colourful characters that become friends on the way.
Share the journey and blow away the milky froth resting on your cappuccino and gain a deeper understanding of Italy and its people.
