Maremma Mia

Career diplomat, committed italophile and brilliant writer Nicholas Hopton will discuss his new book with Simon Gammell. 

Maremma Mia is a warm, witty chronicle of one family’s adventure transforming an old farmhouse and olive grove in a remote corner of the Maremma  into a home.   From the nearby medieval town of Suvereto to the wild hills, fertile valley and coastline steeped in Etruscan mystery, the book weaves together the region’s landscape, food, wines, flora, fauna and traditions with vivid portraits of its people. Along the way, it explores the Maremma’s extraordinary history — from imperial assassinations and Napoleonic upheaval to partisan defiance in World War II.
