In 1942, Eric Newby ( A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, Slowly Down the Ganges) was captured in a botched attempt to raid a Sicilian airfield from the sea. He spent much of the Second World War in prison camps, first in Italy and later in Czechoslovakia.

There he found hearty and generous Italian farmers who were willing to risk everything to give him refuge.
