Elisabeth Catuogno

American citizen, Italian resident married to an Italian, 2 young children. I've lived in Italy for about ten years, spent summers here as a child and have most definitely "gone native". I live in Orvieto, Umbria but we used to live on Capri, where my husband is from and we now spend our summers. I've had lots of important life experiences here - marriage, births, new career and now schooling for my children, and this country never ceases to amaze me in all of its infinite contradictions. I speak fluent Italian and good French and am grateful for the years of Latin I studied as a child. I feel very connected, through my own Neapolitan heritage, to the rich Roman culture of this country, particularly in Campania where I lived for so long.I love the sea, cooking and eating, walking in the countryside, reading and discovering new places and people and especially having friends from the US come to visit.
