The 'other Italy' represents the rural landscapes, remote villages, and traditional professions such as farming, charcoal burning, shepherding, and fishing, which are fading over time. The author traversed this enchanting region on foot and by car, initially as a geologist, but his curiosity extended to the rich culture and history of the land. From 1959, he spent a decade in Liguria and two decades in Calabria, deepening his connection to Italy over fifty years through numerous visits. He shares eight compelling stories that explore the land and its people, highlighting the dramatic scenery of Calabria, the influence of the mafia, rural festivals, Christmas traditions, Italian cuisine, and the poignant tales of abandoned farms and a beloved grandfather. Accompanied by a wealth of vibrant photographs, the narratives invite readers to explore beyond typical tourist destinations and discover a captivating, yet remote, Italy. Hillert Ibbeken, a former geology professor at the Freie Universität Berlin, has a lifelong passion for architecture, landscape, and macro-photography, with several notable publications to his name, including works on influential architects and the American West.
