"D'Amato has the soul of a poet."
-Phyllis Johnson, Tidewater Teacher Magazine
If you have visited Italy or are going soon, you probably know
the basics: ordering a coffee will get you an espresso, don't plan
to shop between 2:00 and 4:00 PM, and Italians tip about 5 percent
compared to our 15 percent. However, if someone tells you to locate
the zebra stripes, asks if you want to borrow a phone, or
recommends some local cannoli, there's a good chance you'll be
caught off guard.
During a seventeen-day escapade in a remote town two hours south
of Naples, D'Amato and his students discovered the nuances of
Italian society and much more. From being pick-pocketed to
realizing there was no drinking age, the teenagers confronted many
unanticipated situations.
Whether you are contemplating a vacation in Italy or wondering
what happens when a teacher takes students four thousand miles from
home, D'Amato's travel journal will serve as an intimate guide to
the pain and pleasure of cross-cultural immersion. His captivating
accounts are filled with impassioned observations and practical
advice that will help readers avoid the potential pitfalls of
traveling abroad. Roam Italy will make even jaded world travelers
slow down to savor the oft-missed beauty and meaning embedded in
seemingly ordinary "everyday" experiences.
