From the Correspondence
Autumn in Tuscany arrives softly, with the clink of cellar glasses and the hush of olives falling into nets. Even the roads seem to remember old poems, curling between vineyards and villas glazed by the low sun. At dusk, a chestnut fire threads itself through the valley, and the whole land feels briefly, exquisitely held.
