BIOGRAPHIES

I’m Writing Brochures for Travel Companies Dizzying daytrips from Rome, Florence, Venice … The best place to drink espresso served by Siena's virtuoso baristi Where to find Baci di Cherasco, “chocolate kisses” Or Tuber magnatum pico, tartufo bianco – the white truffle. Where to sip playful white Astis, bold and broad Barolos Where to nibble cheeses subtle and sharp, creamy and dense Oh you little Marco Polos, ask me to create your Premium Tour brochures. At my desk, I will wear a stola as they did in Ancient Rome, that will flow down to my wine-stained toes And my mouse will turn into a pecorino.
