About Us

August, 1983. A pair of young lovers journey from New York City to Italy, where he will teach at the American School of Milan. By tram, train, and bus they begin exploring: Milano; Genoa, Rapallo, the Cinque Terre; the Lakes; Venice. And find themselves forever changed. Years later they marry, decades later they make a home in the Piedmont region and live happily ever after.

I wish to thank Lucia Carenini: without her this website would have remained a vague fantasy.  We were mere acquaintances when she agreed many years ago to create a website for my content.  Since then Lucia has become a dear friend--kind and generous, funny and fun, enormously talented, professionally exacting.  Her whole-hearted dedication to this project is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received, and I owe her an incalculable debt.  Grazie infinite, cara Lucia!     >>Read more
