Frances Mayes October 7, 1999 Noted author and poet Frances Mayes is the next guest of the Kentucky Author Forum on Oct. 7, 1999, in Louisville. Mayes will discuss her latest book, Bella Tuscany: The Sweet Life in Italy (Broadway Books, 1999). USA Today reports "This beautifully written memoir about taking chances, living in Italy, loving a house, and always, the pleasures of food....delicious, read it first yourself." Bella Tuscany chronicles Mayes' adventures in Cortona, Italy, where she is restoring a 19th-century farmhouse. It is a sequel to the 1996 memoir Under the Tuscan Sun: At Home in Italy , which was on the bestseller list for 100 weeks. Mayes, a professor of creative writing at San Francisco State University, spent summers and sabbaticals saving the abandoned farmhouse named Bramasole. Meaning "to yearn for the sun," Bramasole links Mayes and her husband, poet Edward Kleinschmidt, to 2,600 years of Etruscan history and Mediterranean culture. An author of five volumes of poetry, Mayes writes rich, sensuous details of the Italian countryside, local citizens, workers and Tuscan dining. Filled with recipes, the book is a passionate account of her continuing love affair with Italy and the occasional heartbreaks of the villa's ongoing restoration. Mayes is also the author of the college textbook The Discovery of Poetry . She was granted a national Endowment of the Arts Fellowship in 1988, and four of her autobiographical essays have been selected as "notable essays" by Robert Atwan, editor of

what's on 21 WLIW productions jobs pressroom ... sitemap FRANCES MAYES' BELLA TUSCANY brings the author's bestsellers Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany beyond the book in a celebration of what Mayes calls the "voluptuousness of Italian life." Interviews with the personalities that have won the hearts of readers around the world and footage of the Tuscan countryside from the ground and the air will inspire viewers to experience the "sweet life" in Italy for themselves. As one of the local residents in the program notes, Mayes has "truly captured the spirit of the people, not just [the beauty of] the landscape" in the two internationally beloved books, and FRANCES MAYES' BELLA TUSCANY enchants with glorious images whose full beauty Mayes' memoirs could only hint at. This is a program for anyone who read Mayes' books and wanted more, but it is also a wonderful introduction to Cortona and the Tuscan countryside that doesn't require a familiarity with the books to enjoy. Walk the Roman pathways with Frances and her husband Ed into town to buy the makings of an evening's meal; farm the Mayes' centuries old olive grove; look out over the Etruscan stone walls that resound with the history of Cortona and get a taste of the good life in FRANCES MAYES' BELLA TUSCANY.

It was an ongoing search for places that feel as comfortable as her adopted Tuscan hometown of Cortona that inspired the grand tour at the heart of her latest book, A Year in the World: Journeys of a Passionate Traveller . Fans of Under The Tuscan Sun and its sequel Bella Tuscany Mayes and her husband, fellow poet Ed Mayes, divide their time between Italy and America, where they recently relocated from the Bay Area to North Carolina. Though she has written a guide to infusing life with the style and spirit of Tuscany and developed a line of Tuscan-inspired furniture with Drexel Heritage, Mayes laughingly tells BookPage during a break from unpacking that her new house is merely "taking on the air of less chaos," rather than that of Tuscany. Mayes and her husband made the move to North Carolina to be near her daughter and three-year-old grandson, Willie. "He's been to Italy five times already," she says. Last summer, the couple enrolled the youngster in a nursery school near Bramasole. "Of course he started picking up Italian," she says with obvious pride, adding that she would love for him to achieve fluency in the language, something to which she and Ed still aspire. Mayes says she wants to impart to her grandson a sense of being a world citizen.

Georgian Way Richard Earl Thompson Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com "Swan" (Reviewed by Jenny Dressel FEB 10, 2003) "A Chamber of Commerce sign on the outskirts of town said in foot-high letters, " Frances Mayes, acclaimed author of her Tuscany memoirs, has written her first novel. She's given us a tour of a little town in Georgia called Swan, hence the title of the book. The story begins with the desecration of Catherine Mason's grave, 19 years after her death by suicide. The year is 1975, and the townspeople are horrified by this crime committed in their sleepy little village. The sheriff has never seen anything like it, "he'd only been the county sheriff for three months and he hadn't faced anything other than car wrecks and fistfights." The Mason family chartered the town in 1875, 100 years later; they are still the family that holds the power in Swan. Catherine Mason's body lying beside her coffin, in the summer mud, is a tragic crime.

Overview Fractional Ownership News / Press Inspection Trips ... Member Testimonials Frances Mayes excerpt - Bringing Tuscany Home Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun , on Borgo di Vagli This entrance to Vagli speaks directly to the pleasures of the place. Although only 20 minutes from Cortona's lively piazza life, and within easy driving distance of many of the great Tuscan towns, you feel immediately a curtain of time drop between you and the hectic world. Vagli is not only secluded, it's isolated. All the neighbours are on four legs: deer, porcupine, boar, jack rabbits, and foxes. Birdwatchers will find the exotic upupa (hoopoe) flitting among the olives. You may come to appreciate the beauty of a small black scorpion (harmless) scurrying under a rock. What you hear is silence. You become aware of the blue air at evening, the angle of the sun on a stone roof, a vine-covered pergola where you want to sit and read those books you've not had time to touch for months. Borgo di Vagli's houses are tastefully curated with local antiques and traditional textiles. With its bright pool, sunning terraces and private patios, you enjoy the amenities of other luxury properties. But Vagli has the real luxury: peace. Those seeking bright lights and nightlife had best look elsewhere. Here, at night, you'll find only the aromas of Dina's pasta sauce wafting out to the pergola where you will dine under the stars, only the gurgle of good wine pouring, only the sound of laughter among your fellow voyagers.
