    I fell in love with Italy while watching the movie La Strada in the basement of my university library. Since then I have met and married an Italian, written and edited several guides and enjoyed a lot of pasta, wine and gelato. I live with my family on the outskirts of Rome and cultivate my passion for Italy a little more everyday. Moon Rome, Florence & Venice is my latest book and a result of months of exploration. I look forward to sharing what I have discovered and meeting travelers in Rome to swap stories over a cappuccino.

      INTRODUCING SARDINIA

      Although Sardinia is commonly listed last in guidebooks and treated with the respect of an afterthought, it is arguably the best region in Italy. Visiting the island is almost like visiting a separate country. Even though it was the first overseas conquest of Republican Rome and has absorbed many cultures through the centuries, it has managed to retain a distinct identity from the mainland. In fact, older Sardinians often refer to the rest of Italy as the continent.

      Part of that character is a result of the land, which is wild and could easily be mistaken for the American Southwest or North Africa. The other is the sea, which has carved out postcard perfect coastlines and an abundance of splendid beaches. In July and August, Stintino and Baia Chia are covered with bathers, especially Italians, for whom Sardinia is a favorite summer destination. Spring is less crowded and a good time for driving coastal
