"Sass, Smarts, and Stilettos" by Gabriella Contestabile

The Power of the Italian feminine.

Sass, smarts, and stilettos.

How do Italian women turn the ordinary into extraordinary? Why do their lives seem less complicated, but more complete and alluring?

Discover what’s behind this seductive ethos of effortless chic, and how to live an extraordinary and stylish life, all’ italiana.

Sass, Smarts, and Stilettos is not just a celebration of Italian women, but of all women; of their innate ability to think outside the box, to make magic from mayhem, and to have a wild good time doing it.

In the words of our Italian grandmothers, “Forza!”.

Flavia Brunetti, author of Young in Rome city blog

“Sass, Smarts, and Stilettos is a book for the strong woman inside each of us. A voice that will make you want to take stock of those dreams in a drawer and go make them come true, preferably whilst donning the perfect accessories and with delicate sandals suited for both adventures and aperitivo.”

Francesca Belluomini, author of The Cheat Sheet of Italian Style

“An Italian lifestyle is understated, not loud, it doesn’t need to brag, because it’s an inherited patrimony, made of the simple things, yet luxurious and sophisticated, a tribute to quality. Gabriella does an exquisite and ambitious job at describing it in passionate detail, and in a book you won’t want to put down.”
