Tales of Mondino (Hardcover)

Walter Dorin, a painter, lived and worked in Italy for over 20 years from the late '50s onward. These tales, autobiographically-based (in which some of the names have been changed, in order to protect the guilty) are the stories of some of the interesting, eccentric, loveable (and not so loveable), as well as those truly wonderful, characters that he met there, in the "Dolce Vita" Rome of the late '50s and the '60s, and later in Northern Italy in the '70s.
