«Ciao, America!» is the travel and humour book by Beppe Severgnini, published by Crown in paperback (242 pages, in English).
During his year in Washington D.C., the author and his wife settle in Georgetown and observe American quirks with irony: the ice, the air conditioning or the cappuccinos after dinner. Eccentric characters, a garage sale and growing fondness for Klondike bars, Samuel Adams beer and pancake houses complete the portrait.
The original work, «Un italiano in America», was published in 1995; this 2003 English edition incorporates the translation by Giles Watson.
Recommended for readers of travel writing and cultural humour, especially those who enjoy Bill Bryson.
Giuseppe "Beppe" Severgnini is an Italian journalist, essayist, and columnist.
