A hilarious account of one absolutely disastrous Italian vacation, a story full of illness and good food, cold houses and warm people, bad decisions, marital spats, and family love. True in every detail, it is the tale of a trip award-winning author Roland Merullo made with his wife of many years, their two young children, and his brave octogenarian mother in an attempt to escape the New England winter and enjoy Italian cuisine, architecture, warm weather, and each other.

Shortly after arriving at their rental house north of Rome, however, the Merullo family finds itself neck-deep in a swamp of misfortune.  A stomach flu takes hold of their younger daughter and will not let go.  The house is freezing cold, isolated, and patrolled by a pack of pesky mongrels.  Hoping to escape the situation, the family heads south on a 500 mile drive, only to encounter, among a cast of eccentric characters, more bad luck.  Their ability to cope — sometimes — and laugh — afterwards — forms the heart of Taking the Kids to Italy.
