See you there, Domenica.

Stefano di Sessanio sounds like an incredible, magical place. I cannot wait to visit in September for Hands On L’Aquila. I only wish I could attend the writers’ workshop in May-June as well.

That must be some trip for you. Yes, the communication for our generation is almost hard to comprehend, isn’t it. I even found a facebook page for people from my nonno’s village. Piacere!

My last trip to italy in 2010 did not take in l’Aquila, but ai did visit my mother’s parents home towns of Roseto degli Abruzzi and Morro d’Oro, in the Teramo region. It is wonderful to maintain that connection with our families in Italy and so much easier with Technology. I am trying to travel back every few years, but it’s a long flight from Australia… Well done with your informative blog.

I just realized that “Winter in The Abruzzi” is part of “The Little Virtues,” which I did know about.
My bad.

It is hard to read without crying. Grazie for the link to the document. I see my own family names in there, and will try to translate the piece about Campotosto when I have time.
