Vincent Schiavelli Is Known To Most Of Us As A Character Actor Who Has Appeared In Such Films As Ghost, Man On The Moon, And One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. Schiavelli Grew Up In Brooklyn, Speaking Both Sicilian And English At Home. Some Of His Earliest Memories Are Of Sitting At The Kitchen Table While His Grandparents Told Stories Of The Life And The People They Had Left Behind In Polizzi Generosa, A Small City In The Madonie Mountains Of Sicily. As Schiavelli Grew Older, Those Stories, And The City About Which They Were Told, Took On A Mythic Quality. When He Was Nearly Forty He Made His First Trip There, And What He Found Was More Extraordinary Than The 'Once Upon A Time' Fables Of His Childhood. In Many Beautiful Things, Schiavelli Invites Readers To Join Him In Discovering The People, Culture, And Food Of The City That Has, In Essence, Become His Second Home. Equal Parts Memoir And Cookbook, It Is The Best Of Both. Schiavelli Is An Accomplished And Elegant Writer Who Evokes A Foreign And Often Closed Culture From A Unique Perspective: An Outsider Fluent In The Language With Stillstrong Familial Ties. The Recipes Which Reflect The Ancient Influences Of Greece, North Africa, And Spain Are Simple, Rustic, And Delicious, Depending On Local Products And Seasonal Bounty.
