Solo in Salento
SOLO IN SALENTO BEGINS WITH A LIE. Desperate to break out of a life haunted by a wretched past, a loss of faith, toxic relationships, a stressful management career, and a slow sink into domestication, Donna craves time away from everything and everyone, including her loving husband. So she lies, telling everyone she is traveling alone to research a novel she intends to write. While in Otranto, Donna masters the complex recycling system of a country where she doesn't speak the language. By applying these same trash rules to her own life, she discovers that she can sort, recycle, and discard the personal garbage that has plagued her over a lifetime. The book's universal themes of personal growth and travel invite you to come along on this transformational journey filled with mysterious sacred places, culinary delights, and the possibility of being kidnapped. Readers seeking personal realization, along with active travelers, courageous wannabe travelers, and armchair travelers, will be drawn into the magic.
The Medieval Salento
Located in the heel of the Italian boot, the Salento region was home to a diverse population between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. Inhabitants spoke Latin, Greek, and various vernaculars, and their houses of worship served sizable congregations of Jews as well as Roman-rite and Orthodox Christians. Yet the Salentines of this period laid claim to a definable local identity that transcended linguistic and religious boundaries. The evidence of their collective culture is embedded in the traces they left behind: wall paintings and inscriptions, graffiti, carved tombstone decorations, belt fittings from graves, and other artifacts reveal a wide range of religious, civic, and domestic pra...

Puglia with the Gloves Off Part One Salento
Never been to Puglia? Thinking of visiting this part of Italy - perhaps not for the first time? I lived there for nine years from 2001 until 2009. Now I am regretting that I ever came back to the barely United Kingdom. I miss the warmth, the food, the idiosyncratic ways of its people, their unfailing hospitality, the deviousness of the market-stall holders, the smells, the sound and sight of people of all ages united on their local town square joining in their traditional dance - the Pizzica - whose rhythms will haunt me until the day I die. Not to mention the fresh fruit and vegetables and the abundance of healthy dishes which almost guarantee longevity, if not eternal life.My nine life-changing years entitle me to tell you the way it is in this far-flung region of Italy. All will be revealed. Nothing will be concealed. This will be Puglia with the Gloves Off.

Byzantine Religious Law in Medieval Italy
Southern Italy was conquered by the Norman Hauteville dynasty in the late eleventh century after over five hundred years of continuous Byzantine rule. At a stroke, the region's Greek Christian inhabitants were cut off from their Orthodox compatriots in Byzantium and became subject to the spiritual and legal jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic popes. Nonetheless, they continued to follow the religious laws of the Byzantine church; out of thirty-six surviving manuscripts of Byzantine canon law produced between the tenth and fourteenth centuries, the majority date to the centuries after the Norman conquest. Byzantine Religious Law in Medieval Italy is a historical study of these manuscripts, exp...
