Editor’s Note: Nuccio is one of my great friends and benefactors in all of Italy. He recently wrote his memoirs describing how he grew up in Italy and became one of the most sought after automobile mecchanics in Acri Reale. For those learning Italian the book is a fascinating way to explore the history of Sicilian popular culture while learning the Italian vocabulary and grammar. — I highly recommend the book. — Click the image to get more information and to purchase an electronic copy online.
