The US-born blogger, nearly30yearsItalian, has lived between Rome and Tuscany all of her adult life, promoting Italy and all things Italian while animatedly discussing the country’s counter-intuitiveness. Having spent a lifetime peeling back the layers of cultural nuances that distinguish and identify background and explain reaction, she offers some of the anecdotes and insights gained.

Tina,
Kudos on such a wonderful blog—I feel so at home here among your wonderful words and your evocative images. It enchants me— I feel like I am having an intimate conversation with a friend over cappuccino! Keep up the great work. You make Rome and your relationship with the place a work of true art!
Un grande bacione
