what a wonderful surprise! I learned that Sardinia has prehistoric ruins, has beautiful beaches/ quaint towns, beautiful vinyards, tall mountains - I wish I could go there! Kate Bolton Porciatti is a wonderful guide!
Once again Kate excels in sharing her knowledge of an area of Italy, in terms of the topography, the art, music, culture, traditions.
