A Slovenian in Italy for love. Blogger, photographer, translator and would-be writer who would be a writer if she wrote. Plus reluctant but emerging poet. Beware.

I think I’ve told you this, but my grandparents on my dad’s side came to the US from Italy. Grandfather never did learn English, and grandmother spoke very broken English. My dad and his brothers and sister always spoke Italian to their parents. I so wish I had listened and learned…
Thank you, Not Pam. I’m glad to see you come over. I realise that I never mention in the post with the poem that it was my mother who wrote it, and then I translated it into English. 🙂

Thank you, K. 🙂 That drawing was done after a photo. The artist Mina Fina illustrated the entire book in this manner.

Thank you, Sunny. Yes, taken from Sant’Angelo. In the back you see the ghost town Celleno which we had visited just before.
