TIM JEPSON is a passionate and lifelong devotee of Italy. Since
graduating from Oxford, he has spent long periods of time living
and traveling in the country, including a year in a remote Umbrian
village. Over the years, he has written some fifteen books on the
country, as well as numerous articles for the Daily Telegraph,
Vogue, Conde Nast Traveller, and other publications. Now based in
London, Jepson continues to visit Italy regularly, and, as a keen
hiker and outdoor enthusiast, he takes a particular interest in the
country's mountain and wilderness areas. He also revels in Italy's
more sedentary pleasures--the food, wine, art and culture--and
hopes one day to indulge them all from a small Venetian apartment
of his own.
