Italské dvojhubky – Kučíková Marta (2025)

Why do Italian dapper men fulfill their lifelong dreams at any age? Why do they refrain from complaining unnecessarily? Why would an Italian never consume margarine? Why is there usually the same number of bars and hair salons in the smallest village? How can one outsmart bad luck high in the mountains? And why are all Italian women experienced marriage psychologists after just one coffee? What does a proper Italian supposedly do every Wednesday, according to a Czech proverb? How to elegantly get rid of a nuisance? What does it really mean to be unfaithful to the grave? How does a typical Italian pamper his dear wife? What is the secret to their meticulously tidy homes – and how do Italian women manage to stay well-groomed and elegant even in the midst of a rush? Why don’t they gain weight, even when stuffing themselves with pizza at midnight? How do Czech and Slovak women feel married to their Italian men? Why does an Italian have a kind heart? And why are YOU important? The author, who has lived in these regions for nearly fifteen years, narrates further light and heavy aspects of life in a foothill Italian small town, seen not only from the confessional of a corner shop, again with subtle humor and perspective.
