The Tour of Italy in Panda
In her Fiat Panda tour along all the Italian coasts, Serra comes across one of the most fascinating visions of her journey: Maratea.
"Take one of the themes most sacred to Italians: holidays, beach holidays, add thousands of kilometers of coastline and" laughing towns ", entrusting comments and reflections to a journalist with imagination and sensitivity, shake the whole and behold the cocktail: Everyone at the sea.
Everyone at the sea is the travel diary that Michele Serra wrote in August 1985, covering the beaches of the peninsula as the envoy of the Unit.
The appreciation of the readers was so vast, that the report was collected and published a year later in an agile booklet that was literally snapped up.
On the wave of this unexpected success, Tutti al mare, enriched by the illustrations of Sergio Staino, the popular designer of Bobo, has continued his tour through bookstores and newsstands, where he still pulls well and can buy the fifth reissue.
Not bad for the "delusional proposal", accepted because "in order to fill the newspapers, in August, we are willing to do anything". "
