POSTPONED TO THE SPRING SEASON 2025!
In the meantime, to put your name on Waitlist for this event, please email us!
This event planned for December 21st, 2024 is postponed to the Spring 2025 when we will welcome a very special guest, Frances Mayes, who now divides her time between her homes in Cortona, Italy, and North Carolina. She is the author of the now-classic Under the Tuscan Sun, which was a New York Times bestseller for nearly 3 years and became a film starring Diane Lane. Her other international bestsellers include Bella Tuscany, Everyday in Tuscany, A Year in the World, and three illustrated books: In Tuscany, Bringing Tuscany Home, and The Tuscan Sun Cookbook. She published two novels, Swan and Women in Sunlight, and has written six books of poetry and The Discovery of Poetry. Other books are See You in the Piazza and Always Italy. Her books have been translated into more than fifty languages.
Frances will talk with our Studiolo audience about her life in the villa Bramasole, and how her bestselling book “Under the Tuscan Sun” changed her life. We will also discuss her newest book and third novel, A Great Marriage (Ballantine Books, August 2024). In this poignant novel, when a perfect wedding is called off just days before the big event, it sends two people—and their families—reeling. With her signature warmth, humor, and incisive style, Frances creates a multigenerational probe into the complexity of love and the great mystery ride of marriage. A novel of casual choices and fateful consequences, A Great Marriage introduces two unforgettable families and the arrival of a stranger who rearranges their futures.
