The godmother : murder, vengeance, and the bloody struggle of mafia women / by Nadeau, Barbie Latza,author.;: "The untold stories of the women who have risen to prominence and notoriety in Italy's mafia-many more ruthless than the fathers and husbands they replaced-and the octogenarian murderer who decades ago blazed a bloody trail for them to follow. In 1955 in a public market outside Naples, Italy, a pregnant teenage widow named Assunta "Pupetta" Maresca encounters the man she believes to be her husband's killer. Minutes later, police find the man dead, riddled with an astonishing 29 bullets. Pupetta is arrested and convicted for his death. "I killed for love," she declares in court, "and I'd do it again!" It is the middle of the twentieth century. Italy is impoverished after the war. Criminal organization are springing up where governments fail their citizens. Women are considered adjunct to the growth of the criminal class; they are mothers who train sons in the primacy of blood feuds, or they are daughters and sisters who deliver messages for imprisoned male relatives. But Pupetta changes that. She is heralded "Lady Camorra," and in prison she takes on legendary stature, with films and TV shows produced to capitalize on her outlaw image. The crime and even the killing does not stop there for Pupetta, and though she is arguably the first mafia godmother, she is not the worst. Some of the women who follow in her footsteps will meet terrible fates; others will lead their clans. But if CNN correspondent and Daily Beast Rome bureau chief makes one thing clear in The Godmother, it's that as women seize ever more control of Italy's criminal underworld, they are proving themselves more vicious, cunning and cutthroat than the men they replace."--; Subjects: True crime stories.; Mafia; Women and the mafia;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI

M.,author,author.; Locke, Michelle,author,editor.; Martin, Wes,contributor.; Smolin, Ari,author,editor.; Unger, Diane,contributor.; Warde-Jones, Christopher,photographer.; Yanagihara, Dawn,author,editor.;: "Forget everything you thought you knew about Italian cooking. In Italy, cooks throw away their garlic cloves, don't stir their polenta, make massive meatballs that are tender and light, and never hover over their pans of risotto. True Italian cooking is simple, surprising, and so much more interesting than what we commonly believe. Backroads Italy gives readers a seat at the table with cooks across Italy who share the real recipes for the foods we love, as well as the stories of the people, places, and ingredients behind them. After years scouring Italy from Lombardia to Calabria and from Sardinia to Sicily in search of fresh takes on classic recipes, the Milk Street team challenges our assumptions about Italian food, covering both traditional favorites and new to you finds. You'll learn about the real fettucine Alfredo -- which never includes cream -- to the perfect torta Barozzi, which has drawn crowds to a Modena pastry shop for nearly 140 years, to unexpected ingredients like fermented chili paste. Along with these exclusive recipes, this comprehensive guide to true Italian cooking includes approachable basics, such as sauces, from scratch pastas, and a list of everything you need on hand for a well stocked pantry"--; Subjects: Cookbooks.; Recipes.; Cooking, Italian.;; Available copies: 0 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
Tartufo / by Buxton, Kira Jane,author.;: "After nearly losing the election to a geriatric but wildly popular donkey named Maurizio, newly installed Mayor Delizia Miccuci can't help but feel like the sun has finally set on the rural Italian village of Lazzarina Boscarino. Tourists only stop by to ask for directions, Nonna Amara's cherished ristorante is long shuttered, and the town hall is disgustingly overrun with glis glis poo-even Postman Duccio has been disgraced. All that's left is Bar Celebrità, a rustic establishment where weary locals gather to quibble over decades-long disputes, submit their poor stomachs to bartender Giuseppina's volcanic espresso, and wonder what will become of the place where together they've spent their entire lives. Little do the villagers know that, mere miles away in the forest, local truffle hunter Giovanni Scarpazza has just happened upon something that could change everything. Swollen to massive proportions, soaking the atmosphere in its pungent fumes, potentially worth six figures in certain international circles, a truffle-un tartufo, that is-sits beneath the soil with the power to either be the greatest gift or the foulest curse the village has ever seen-they're not completely sure which since Giuseppina's psychic was a bit unclear on the matter. Tartufo is much more than a charming romp through the foothills of Tuscany. Written in the same enchanting style and raucous humor that defines Hollow Kingdom and Feral Creatures, Buxton's newest story is a reflection on the interconnectedness of life in all its manifestations-and how holding on to harmony in the face of hardship can grow something beautiful and rare beneath the surface"--; Subjects: Humorous fiction.; Novels.; Truffles; Villages;; Available copies: 0 / Total copies: 1; unAPI

Except travel has never been his strong suit, and his reunion with Mira is punctuated by another, more recent heartbreak. When the pair collide again on the gorgeous Amalfi coast, the spark they felt in Paris is reignited, but their quest for a happy ending will surely be as rocky as the Italian coastline.; Subjects: Romance fiction.; Novels.; Recipes.; Americans; East Indian American women; Man-woman relationships; Weddings;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
