A bookish holiday, a reading retreat: [link]
“The happiest guests are big readers. I find them reading in the library, the garden and even in the kitchen while we cook dinner. The library is growing steadily, and many guests donate the books they bring to the castle to the association's library. Some people come alone, some as couples, and others in small groups. There are often local Italian members in the castle who come from Bologna, Ferrara, or Modena for dinner or to attend concerts, art exhibits, or other events. The unique mix of foreign and local friends of the Castle is a pleasure for both because there are always familiar faces around but always new people to meet as well. Many visitors enjoy trying out their Italian while the Italians take the opportunity to practice their English.”
