Italian connections

A guy called Christian Ventrello happened across my
blog the other day, and said nice things about my
scribblings, and it turns out we've got a little bit
in common – like I live in Italy and he is of Italian
origin, and we both have Italian ancestors. Not only
do we have this in common, but he is about to have a
child and I already have one. I think he might like
to hear from other new dads out there so he can get a
better idea of what is about to hit him. If, dear
reader, you think you may be able to offer Christian
some advice and tips of the down to earth, recent
experiences variety, drop over to his blog, here:

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

Or if you are not the advice giving kind, you might
just like what he writes about in his blog. Of course
you could be in the same position as Christian on the
baby front and it may be helpful to see how someone
else is experiencing the same thing.

Go over there and see.

Ever wondered which books people read when they think about Italy? Well, one easy way to find out is to see what’s hot on Amazon. In this case, it’s Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk from which I’ve compiled a list of the best selling books on Italy. If you are stuck for Christmas present inspiration, then this post might be a gift to you.

Before you look at the complete list, try to guess which books on Italy people are buying. Some may surprise you, as the Italian connection is not always that obvious.

I was contacted recently by Rebecca Harp of the Jerusalem Studio School in connection with the launch of its summer art program in Tuscany, Italy. As Italy and art go together like good food and fine wine, both of which can also be found in abundance in Italy, I decided to help spread the Jerusalem Studio School word.
