My Italian Cane Corso or dog’s life in Italy True story of a dog’s life and outcasts in Italy. And how a cane corso can almost ruin you, get you rid of your boyfriend and change your life… How else than for the better, of course!

Lucie Hušková, originally a Czech writer living in the North of Italy for many years, has written this charming and very funny story about this beautiful country and its sometimes contradictory inhabitants through the eyes of a Cane Corso puppy. It is a story about how the Czech mothers can live (un)successfully in Bel Paese, if they marry an Italian beast, though bursts with black humour in places, but those of you who like James Herriot and Betty MacDonald would surely appreciate. According to the author, a life in Italy is not only natural and historical beauty, romantic songs, spaghetti, pizza and excellent ice-cream as many tourists would think. Especially, if you are of Slavic origins, has been living in Italy over twenty years, your husband is an Italian engineer who doesn’t live but functions and tries to destroy your life as well as his mother and local bureaucratical and social system. In that case, the freedom could become a tough prison and a wedding to a handsome stranger a true hell. But if you love children and dogs, all is not lost. To spend your last money on a cute Cane Corso that can methamorphose into a flying black calf overnight and demolish the flat, it may be your only chance to survive and to lead a quiet life with a former carrabinieri, against all odds.

The book is meant for lovers of humour, dogs and pets, women of every age who would after reading this book understood that the life in Italy is not always winning the lottery.
