In the previous blog, I told you that I now have my own place in Milan, and how it all worked out so quickly. It had quite an open-ended ending however: I was about to set foot in the house for the very first time and was I going to tell you all about what …

After all, it happened. For the first time in three years, I skipped a Monday blog. And although the idea still bothers me a little, I know it was bound to happen one day, right? And if there was one week in which it was truly impossible to find even one single hour of time, …

I believe I ended my previous blog with my rather busy itinerary of this second half of November: from Genova to Madrid and from Bologna to Florence. That’s also the exact reason why you couldn’t read this blog on Monday already like you’re used to. I had a late evening flight to Madrid on Monday …

Milan it is! The city where I arrived on Saturday afternoon and the city that welcomed me with an excess of sunshine over the weekend, only to treat me to those typical Milanese grey skies today. The photo above this blog, taken this morning by my dear friend Julia, is the very first photo from Milan. At times, it still …
Let me start this blog by saying how overwhelmed I was by all the reactions – mainly on Instagram, but I also got the kindest WhatsApp messages – to my blog of last week, in which I revealed that I no longer live in Rome. Something that I myself, naturally, have known for some time …
Last week, I mentioned that I had big news to share with you very soon. And now the word is finally out: I no longer live in Rome, nor am I going back there. Needless to say, it’s a bittersweet thing, as Rome will forever be the most beautiful city in the world to me. …
The word is out! In last week’s blog, I wrote that we were about to find out where the Eurovision Song Contest was going to take place next year. Well, it’s a week later now and we know. Liverpool it is, making Glasgow the unfortunate city that has to accept that the opportunity of a …

And suddenly, it’s October already, the tenth month of the year. After quite a bit of rain, the sun is shining brightly above Italy once again. No wonder that October is one of the most popular months for tourists to visit the country. It’s also the month when grapes and olives are harvested, and we …
