When Richard Lucchesi invites his mom to join his young family on a whirlwind tour through Italy, he’s hoping for quality time and postcard memories. What he gets is a full-blown comedy of errors involving lost passports, multiple police units, pickpockets, missed trains, ancient ruins, caffeine-induced breakdowns, and one absolutely unforgettable trip across Italy from Milan to Tuscany, Napoli, Pompeii, and beyond.
In this side-splitting travel memoir, Grandma Backpacks Italy chronicles the chaos and charm of three generations navigating trains, tantrums, and tiramisu. From unbelievable Florence train station fiascos to near-death espresso explosions in Napoli, Lucchesi delivers a pitch-perfect blend of hilarity and heart. Grandma stumbles often. Phones are nearly pick-pocketed. Someone always needs a snack. And somehow, against all odds, the magic of Italy weaves its way into every disaster.
Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, or someone who once survived a family vacation with dignity barely intact, this laugh-out-loud short story will leave you smiling, snorting, and longing for your own Roman holiday—minus the toddler tantrums.
Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Peter Mayle, David Sedaris, and anyone who knows that travel may just be trauma in real time... until it becomes your favorite story.
If you’ve ever loved your mom, lost your mind, or just tried to catch a train in a foreign language, Grandma Backpacks Italy is your next must-read adventure.
