About the author (2009)

Nick Bruno is a freelance travel writer and journalist. His dad is Neapolitan and he spent his childhood eating his nonna’s fried eggs with mozzarella and following his uncle, the well-known crooner Luciano Bruno, around the piano bars of Campania. He spends lots of time in Italy and the rest of the year trying to lose some weight.

Shona Main also peaked too soon as Pop Editor of Jackie magazine when just 20. In a naive attempt to change the world she had short and not quite as interesting careers in law and politics. She has since returned to frippery and now writes about Italy, Scotland, art and popular culture. They both co-authored the Frommer’s with Your Family guide to Northern Italy, which came runner-up for the 2007 Italian State Tourist Board’s Best Travel Guide.
