Pietro Corsi is the author of the Bressani Literary Award novel "Winter in Montreal"(Guernica, Toronto-New York-Lancaster/UK, 2000). In this new book he reminisces about his adventures in the world of movies while living in Rome, and in the world of Canadian immigration while working in Montreal as a newspaperman.
An all-together different and unknown world was awaiting him. It had the sweet, salty smell of the sea: ships and cruises, first to the Mexican Riviera, then all over the world. He relates the pioneering days of the cruise industry, and the birth of the TV serial "The love boat", born after the publication of the book by the same title written by Jeraldine Saunders, who had been a hostess on the ships under his supervision.
He retired from the cruise industry in 1992, having covered the position of Executive VP for Princess Cruises, to get back to writing.
