What if the secret to a better life is learning to do… nothing?

Francesca Montillo, better known as The Lazy Italian, is living a little bit of the “Under the Tuscan Sun” dream. After years of working, saving and planning in Boston, she finally made her dream of owning a home in Tuscany a reality.

And along the way, she discovered something Italians call “the sweetness of doing nothing.” It’s more than simply slowing down—it’s about savoring life, enjoying good food, lingering around the table, and making time for the things that matter.

Francesca takes us inside that Italian way of life through simple recipes, authentic food experiences and tours that offer a very personal look at the culture and traditions of Italy.

And wait until you hear about some of the regional specialties she introduces her travelers to—including grape cake and grape risotto!
