Judith Valente has won numerous awards for her work as a former correspondent for PBS, two NPR stations, The Wall Street Journal, and as the author of several spirituality titles. Her most recent books include How to Live, The Art of Pausing, and How to Be. She has published two poetry collections and is a sought-after retreat guide who leads the annual Benedictine Footprints retreat/pilgrimage to lesser-known parts of Italy, and has lived and traveled extensively in Italy, connecting with her family, community, spirituality and heritage. She is also president of the International Thomas Merton Society.

 
The Italian Soul offers practical guidance into how we can transport a taste of the Italian “good life” into our own homes. Additionally, it explores the contemplative practices and attitudes that seem to come naturally to a people who have made an art of living and working joyfully. A cross between a travel dispatch and a spirituality guide for seekers who eschew traditional religious practices but are yearning for ways to bring more balance, sanity, and a greater sense of the transcendent into their daily lives.
