At Home in Liguria
First published in German in 1915, the author, Alfons von Mumm, was a German diplomat with a passion for Italy. His wife is said to have saved Portofino from Nazi bombing by hurrying outside in her dressing gown to plead with the commanding officer to consider the unique beauty of the town instead of taking action against it.
Full of local history and colour, this enchanting publication is also rich in folk tales and anecdotes, with a lovely range of authentic photographs.
