Dress code se dnes již nepovažuje za omezení tvořivosti a individuality, nicméně k pochopení pravidel oblékání je stále zásadní, a to i v případě, že se je snažíme překročit. Tato kniha obsahuje souhrn klasických pravidel pánského oblékání upravených podle moderního vkusu a zároveň slouží jako záchytný bod pro docela nové a originální styly oblékání, jimiž muži každodenně usilují o pohodlí a eleganci. Text, jehož autorem je věhlasný italský odborník v oblasti současné módy Giuseppe Ceccarelli a který doprovází řada kvalitních fotografií, obsahuje mnoho svědectví a zkušeností skutečných přívrženců pánského oblékání, od generálních ředitelů přes úředníky a dělníky až po umělce a dandyovské šviháky. Zjistíme tak například, jakým způsobem tyto osobnosti přetvořily smoking, aniž by porušily jeho tradici, anebo jaký převrat zapříčinily úpravou obleku „formal attire“. Dozvíme se rovněž, že „zvláštní příležitostí“ k oblékání může být i nová pracovní pozice či změna životního stylu. Někteří muži vytvářejí svůj styl přirozeně a spontánně, pro jiné jde o pečlivé budování vlastní image. Tato příručka vám postupně odhalí smysl jednotlivých pánských dress codů a krok za krokem vás provede jejich současnými proměnami.

Arriving in Naples as a naive young intern at the American Consulate, Katherine is set up on a blind date - at least that's what she's expecting. Instead, Salvatore brings her home to eat pizza with his family. But this is no ordinary pizza, and the woman who makes it is no ordinary woman. Katherine and Salve do end up dating - and marrying - but it's Salvatore's mother who truly initiates Katherine into Italian society, offering her a culinary and cultural education that marks the beginning of her womanhood. Along the way, Katherine dabbles in dubbing porn, learns to cook an octopus, and fends off frisky Italian suitors. Most importantly, she acquires carnale, the quintessentially Neapolitan sense of living with comfort and confidence in one's body. Only in Naples recalls the rich and wry culinary writing of Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking and the charmingly eccentric family portraits of Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened.
