Molto piacere

Hello everyone! I'm Elisabeth posting from Orvieto most of the year, and from the Amalfi Coast during the summers. I used to visit the forums regularly, but never posted. When I found this new format, I thought I'd give it a try! Now I just hope I can figure out how it all works.I'm American, married to an Italian and we have two small bilingual and bicultural children. I've lived in Italy full-time for about ten years now, first in Capri where my husband is from and more recently in Orvieto. I spent a lot of time here as a child as well, so I grew up speaking some Italian and became really fluent when I moved here.I'm a licensed Italian estate agent (don't hold that against me!) working with an English company. I mostly handle luxury properties on Capri and the Amalfi Coast, but I also handle a select few things in Umbria. Mostly I do property management while I'm up here. It keeps me busy enough, especially with all of the other things I seem to have going on.I'm very involved in our little American Episcopal (Anglican) church here in town. Aside from the obvious - it's a wonderful place to meet other expats and build a community of English speakers - especially for my kids.Besides property, I know a lot about touring in the south of Italy, Italian eating and cooking, contemporary Italian culture and am a good hand at translations. My husband and I used to run a gourmet vacation company and cooking school, which gradually turned into a career as an estate agent for me - go figure! So, I hope to participate on these and other topics as they come up.Nice to meet you!
