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.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
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.

One Door

A Sicilian proverb says:

" Si chiuri na porta, si rapi un purticatu"

Italian translation:

" Si chiude una porta , si apre un portone"

We have a very similar expression in English but these take it one inspiring step better. I hope its true.

The title on my business card now officially reads Freelance Writer and Journalist. Guess I really will have to start paying attention to my spelling and grammar if I want to eat two times a day.
