I’m sometimes asked if I have Italian ancestry. The answer is no, not a bit. And yet for the last ten years or so I seem to
have immersed myself in all things Italian
when previously all I knew about Italy was from my two years of high school Latin, from my love of cooking, and from being involved in music since age six! In 1994 I decided to start taking Italian, and I have been sitting in on one class or another since then. As a result of that, I’ve led two Globus tours to Italy.
