About this listen
One woman's story of finding beauty and herself - and a practical guide to living a better life, the Italian way!
Kamin Mohammadi, a magazine editor in London, should have been on top of the world. But after heartbreak and loneliness, the stress of her 'dream life' was ruining her physical and mental health. Gifted a ticket to freedom - a redundancy package and the offer of a friend's apartment in Florence - Kamin took a giant leap. It did not take her long to notice how differently her new Italian neighbours approached life: enjoying themselves, taking their time to eat and drink, taking their lives at a deliberately slower pace.
Filled with wonderful characters - from the local bartender/barista who becomes her love adviser to the plumbers who fix her heating and teach her to make pasta al pomodoro - here is a mantra for savouring the beauty and colour of every day that Italians have followed for generations, a guide to the slow life for busy people, a story of finding love (and self-love) in unlikely places and an evocative account of a year living an Italian life.

OK but I thought it was going to be different to a host of comparable books available.

It speaks a lot of real sense about how to live a healthy life style not just from a food aspect but from the mental, emotional and phisical aspects too. I am a 68 year old male pensioner, so I'm not like the character in this book in any way but her advice on looking after ones self IS very beneficial to all ages and both sexes. I for one am glad I stumbled on this book and had the good sense to listen right to the end even although it's not the usual kind of book I listen to, nor did I think it would have any relevance to my life but how wrong one can be. I am off to buy my first bottle of (Green) extra virgin olive oil for drinking. I often cook with it and drizzle it on food as I love Italian food, but to just drink it had never crossed my mind. So from now on it's only the finest olive oil for cooking, drizzling and DRINKING from here on, along with the rest of the Bella figura lifestyle recommendations. In three months time I will review any changes to my health and fitness and again in 6 and then 12 months. That should have given it a really good chance to prove it's worth. I was thinking of going over to Spain or the south of France 🇫🇷 to live as I've pretty much had it with 🇬🇧 but maybe now I just might consider living in Italy 🇮🇹. How better to live a Bella figura lifestyle? 😁
