Elegant Etruria

 

 EXPAT'S NEW BOOK  REVEALS  SECRETS OF ITALY BEYOND OLGIATA

"Mary Jane Cryan has again managed to surprise me with a wealth of new, hidden details and fascinating stories about our beautiful second homeland ", says , Rudolph Hupperts, a Dutch- born  official guide of the Viterbo province and lawyer  at FAO. 

 Some of the articles, originally published on Italian magazines,  have been adapted for  English language visitors while others  evolved from  seminars  presented to University students and  to  cruise ship passengers.  The author , who passes several months each year lecturing on luxury cruise ships, suggests  itineraries such as the Etruscan Triangle  to visitors arriving at  her home port,  Civitavecchia.  

  "The latest book of  Mary Jane Cryan confirms her as a leading voice on that fascinating area of Italy known as Etruria", says English journalist Margaret Stenhouse. " A scrupulous researcher, she combines scholarship with a passionate love of her subject, bringing long-ago personages and events vividly to life".

 Part of the  156 page book is  dedicated to  the international  connections  in central Italy,  fruit of original research and long hours passed in dusty archives of Italy, Ireland and England  to bring to light   facts  not available in   guide books.
