American Girl in Italy

How does the blue mold get in Gorgonzola? Have you ever heard the rocks at Castiglioncello sing and why do writers always seek solace in Italy? Time for me to find the answers to these and see, if in doing so, I also find my home.

Location: Rome, RM, Italy

i am actually the lost royal heir to the small kingdom of Birundi...having been secreted away by my wet nurse when mean overlords arrived turning our little known, yet terribly chic fiefdom into a nasty republic. now my people sit glued with their eyes glazed.....dreaming of distant IRA's and stock options, having long forgotten the taste of sweet green olive oil and the scent of rosemary.

Aegroto, dum anima est, spes esse dicitur

update on the future of the best Latin classes in Rome. dearest Fr. Reginald Foster has found a home (god looks after spritely Latin teachers, even when members of the clergy don't)
.
in the end this incredible spirit did just as i suspected he would, and rightly so, he chose a school that could give him a classroom immediately, The American Institute of Roman Culture, and i respect that from a man who at 68 (me thinks), instead of thinking about simply retiring, chooses to take only a fortnight from termination to initiation to begin a new post. A brave and charming professor, willing to take on a new post so that the language he loves can continue to grow in the minds of the next generation.

Aegroto, dum anima est, spes esse dicitur.
godspeed Reggie! you rock!
