In the past few days I have been trying to cross paths with women blogging from Italy on the same topics I'm interested in, these days. Let's take the American Muslim identity, that I discussed at length yesterday with dr. Maher Hatout, at the Public Affairs Muslim Council in Los Angeles. Is there some Italian blogger interested in posting about it? Nope. Or, if there are, they're all men.  Read more >

I am the last person who could give in to patriotism, left alone religious fanaticism. But in these days I might be due for a few surprises since I found myself moved to reflection by the least expected sources.  Read more >

Editor's Note: This post also is available in Italian below. Since my arrival in Italy almost a month ago, I thought to blog about many political news items. The first elected woman major in Milan, my hometown. The recent polls and the peculiar pet-peeve Italians have to hold any reform or system-change upon the people's vote. My good intentions got swamped by my sister's unexpected two surgeries in a row, with obviously related emotional stress and... oh, well, I lost it! Yet, one topic kept churning in my mind. As soon as I arrived, I read that in early June the already liberal Netherlands woke up to a new political party, NVD. That stands for the poetic "Compassion, Freedom and Diversity" but does not advocate gay rights or anything like that. What it claims is freedom for pedophiles.  Read more >

About Me: 
I was born in Milan, Italy. I dreamed of being a pirate, an astronaut, and an explorer when I was a kid. But my mom also keeps a drawing that I apparently did when I was 9. That pictures me as a reporter, roaming around the world in my convertible car. I guess that too was my idea of adventure and freedom. So when I grew up, I first became a reporter and then a storyteller. I became a writer and worked in the staff of several newspapers and magazines. But I still wanted to roam around the world, seeking out people who shared my same longings. In 1988, I quit my last full-time job and pursued my goal of seeking out amazing people and incredible adventures all over the world. In 1992, I moved to Los Angeles with my son, Daniele, then 18, where I am living and writing, still.
