Hi Catherine. It's nice to here from our American cousins! I'm making the assumption you are AmericanDo you speak italian? I am slowly learning the language. I have come to realise that most of the self learning courses available in the UK are from the USA ! I have booked a week near Rome next year. Like your goodself I am a lover of Italia and enjoy discovering their history and culture.Hope you enjoy this brilliant website as much as I do.Take care now !

It is very expensive to trace ancestry but I hope to be able to do that at some point. I do imagine that attempting to buy real estate while living abroad will be very difficult. It is very difficult to get Italy out of your blood once you have visited. LOL.
