500    "First published in Italian as L'estate infinita in 2015 
       by Bompiani" [Milano] -- Verso title page. 
520    "A novel set in Tuscany during the magical years when 
       thousands of businesses blossomed, manufacturing objects 
       for everyday life as well-made and beautiful as the 
       Renaissance art that inspired them. Infinite Summer brings
       the reader back to Italy in the 1970s, a time when growth 
       and full employment propelled smart and industrious young 
       men to create companies devoted to design, architecture, 
       automobiles, and more. Three men share a dream of building
       a textile factory from scratch. Ivo Barrocciai, the 
       enthusiastic son of a textile artisan, embarks on an 
       elaborate project: to build a luxurious factory that will 
       be "the envy of the Milanese." He recruits Cesare Vezzosi,
       a small building contractor, and Pasquale Citarella, a 
       hardworking foreman from the south. Their relationships 
       with each other and with their wives, their secret 
       passions, their ambitions, and the compromises they have 
       to make create a comical, moving fresco. It is at once a 
       family saga and a love story -- not only about people, but
       also about a reborn, ambitious, and courageous nation that
       revolutionized taste and fashion, a nation proud and 
       thrilled with its new place in the world. Nesi shows us 
       Italy at its best: the Italy with which we fell in love"--
