Englishwoman Caroline Seller met Marcello Manzo at a Halloween party in London in the mid-seventies. Although she spoke little Italian and he spoke practically no English, the chemistry between them was undeniable, and it wasn’t long before Caroline was invited to visit Marcello's family in Mazara del Vallo, Sicily. A large, eccentric, and loving clan living in a magnificent, crumbling villa, Santa Maria, the Manzos welcomed Caroline warmly, and soon she and Marcello were married. Together they traveled the world and started a family, but through it all, Santa Maria was never far from their thoughts. So when the Manzo brothers united to save the family's deteriorating estate, Marcello and Caroline eagerly signed on to the project—not entirely prepared for what they were getting into!
As seen through the eyes of Caroline Seller Manzo—an outsider who is often surprised and always delighted by her Italian family and adopted hometown—Casa Nostra is the captivating story of a villa's difficult, glorious rebirth and a celebration of the unique beauty and history of western Sicily and its people.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Thirty years ago, Englishwoman Caroline Seller met a handsome Sicilian named Marcello Manzo during a chance encounter at a costume party. Although she spoke little Italian and he practically no English, both were undeniably smitten. After only a few more meetings, Seller was invited to stay with Manzo's family in the beautiful town of Mazaro del Vallo, Sicily. Here, she was introduced to the loveably eccentric Manzo clan - including Marcello's larger-than-life mother Maria, brothers Silvio and Pilli, and a score of other relatives - who had lost everything they had except their magnificent but crumbling villa, Santa Maria.Over time, Seller and Manzo married, settled in Milan, and started their own family, but Santa Maria was never far from their thoughts. After much debate, Marcello and his brothers united to renovate the deteriorating villa. Determined in their mission but not entirely prepared for what they were getting into, the Manzos started a long restoration process full of devastating setbacks, hilarious mishaps, and ultimately breathtaking results which brought them closer together than ever before.
