"For anyone who has been to Italy, the fantasy of living the Italian life is powerfully seductive. But to truly become Italian, one must learn the language. This is how Dianne Hales began her journey. In La Bella Lingua, she brings the story of her decades-long experience with "the world's most loved and lovable language" together with explorations of Italy's history, literature, art, music, movies, lifestyle, and food in a true opera amorosa - a lobor of love of Italy. Dianne offers charming insights into what makes Italian the most emotionally expressive of languages, from how the pronto ("Ready!") Italians say when they answer the telephone conveys a sense of something coming alive, to how even ordinary things such as a towel (asciugamano) or handkerchief (fazzoletto) sound better in Italian, and she invites readers to join her as she traces the evolution of Italian in the zesty graffiti on the walls of Pompeii, in Dante's incandescent cantos, and in Boccaccio's bawdy Decameron. Like Dianne, readers of La Bella Lingua will find themselves innamorata, enchanted, by Italian, fascinated by its saga, tantalized by its adventures, addicted to its sound, and ever eager to spend more time in its company."--Back cover

Genij ju je učinio besmrtnom, a francuski kralj platio bogatstvo za nju. Republikanski general, koji se proglasio carem, čeznuo je za njom, dok su je pjesnici uzdizali, a pjevači opjevali. Ni jedno drugo lice nije toliko dugo očaravalo toliko mnogo ljudi. Svake godine više od 9 milijuna posjetitelja dolazi u Louvre kako bi se divili njezinu portretu. I ja sam, poput mnogih, zurila u to remek-djelo, no nikad nisam razmišljala o osobi na slici. Onda sam posjetila Firencu, istražujući njezine blagodati kao turistica, a kao đak učila sam njezin jezik. Dok sam radila na svojoj knjizi o talijanskom jeziku, razgovarala sam sa znanstvenicima. Tijekom tih posjeta, dublje sam uranjala u talijansku kulturu i slučajno naletjela na ženu iza znamenitog osmijeha. Povjesničarka Ludovica Sebregondi spomenula je da je majka „La Gioconde“, kako Talijani nazivaju Leonardovu damu, odrasla u Via Ghibellina. Taj komentar me iznenadio; Mona Lisa nikad nije bila više od slike ili motiva na raznim predmetima. Pitala sam se: „Mona Lisa je bila stvarna osoba?“ Ludovica je odgovorila da je Monna Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo bila „una donna vera“ koja je živjela u Firenci prije pet stoljeća.
