“Rome – the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere see moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.”
-George Eliot
“She had always been fond of history, and here [in Rome] was history in the stones of the street and the atoms of the sunshine.”
~Henry James
Roma nun fa’ la stupida stasera
damme ‘na mano a faje di’ de si’
sceji tutte le stelle piu’ brillarelle
che puoi e un friccico de luna
tutta pe’ noi …
~Lando Fiorini
I’m an Italian gluten-free Gourmet Traveler+ and a passionate storyteller, writing in English and Italian. Fluently speaking (eating and dreaming) in Italian, English, French, and Russian. When I’m not writing, I cook and test recipes for special diets, and photograph (also on film). Not necessarily in that order. — / — Sono una viaggiatrice buongustaia (la Gourmet Traveler+) senza glutine, appassionata narratrice di storie. Scrivo in italiano e inglese, parlo (mangio e sogno) fluentemente in italiano, inglese, francese e russo. Quando non scrivo, cucino, testo ricette dolci e salate per diete speciali, fotografo (anche in pellicola). Non necessariamente in quest’ordine.
