As I am now in Italy for summer break, I will write the blog in English, so that my dear friends in Columbus and throughout the US can keep up with my adventures at home.

I am currently travelling around Italy with two American guests, Salvatore e Donna: I will be back in Verona on June 29th to celebrate my 26th borthday, and on that day I will put online my daily blog from this trip, along with great pictures.

Now I am off to Montecassino’s Abbey (11th century) and Naples!

More great mozzarella on the way, yum!

Below is a picture of me in San Gimignano, wondrous little medieval town in Tuscany
