(Re)Covering America, Two Italians, One Epic Roadtrip, From New York to the Pacific

This week on The Italian Radio Hour - We are going on a journey across America—but not the America you think you know.Our guests are two Italian journalists who have lived in New York for over 25 years, writing for Corriere della Sera and La Stampa. But instead of staying in the familiar world of big cities, they decided to do something radical: they left it.Maria Teresa Cometto and Glauco Maggi took a 105-day journey—over 30,000 kilometers—through what many call ‘flyover country,’ the America that is often ignored, misunderstood, or simplified. Their book, “Qui non è Nuova York”, now in English as (Re)Covering America, is not just a travel diary—it’s a sociological, political, and deeply human portrait of a country that may be far more complex—and far more united—than we are led to believe.But today, we’re not here for the usual questions.We’re here to go beyond the postcard—and maybe challenge a few assumptions along the way.”Order you copy here: https://asterismbooks.com/product/recovering-america-two-italians-one-epic-roadtrip-from-new-york-to-the-pacific-105-days-breaking-stereotypes-maria-teresa-cometto-glauco-maggi?fbclid=IwY2xjawRgrl1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFlc0VsS1MzcVAyTlV6dGhFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkzXpuORg84xENyQ7XAgFKSlgRbtouT6nSmZYmy-OQ_OzMtpi5v8Ma4w2UjD_aem_Hu62yjvIKiFTqfksyki8-w
