About

Flowers on the Campo di Fiori, of courseI’m Jane, an aunt, daughter, and sister living in New York City. Among my greatest passions are all things Italian.

Sparked by a month-long visit in 2004, I’ve made nearly annual trips to Italy, from Venice to Puglia, and unforgettable places in between.

Whether I’m in Italy, or in New York plotting my next escape there, I’m pleased to share all that I’m experiencing, eating, drinking, shopping for and learning about this amazing country.

I hope you’ll enjoy coming along for the ride!
