Some schools just have a feel to them. You notice it right away. When I visited the American Overseas School of Rome (AOSR), it didn’t feel like a place where students were just getting through the day. It felt alive. Kids were engaged, teachers were connected, and the whole campus gave off a sense of purpose. A first grader proudly walked me throu...

Today is World Lasagna Day. Lasagna is tipically Italian, of course: but who really owns this beloved dish, Naples in Campania or Bologna in Emilia Romagna? That question sparks an ongoing debate between the two cities. Some claim the original lasagna includes salami and ricotta, while others argue it was born with meat sauce and béchamel. Putting...

I never really thought I'd live in Italy. Sure, my dad was from there, but we weren't one of those families who had dual citizenship or spent summers on the Amalfi Coast.

As someone who was born and raised in Rome, I know firsthand that there's nothing more enjoyable than the city's vibrant atmosphere and friendly community. But if you're looking for a lesser-known place where you can reconnect with nature and enjoy a more peaceful environment, you'll need to look beyond the typical tourist areas. That's why I love...

Just steps away from the grandeur of the Roman forums, between the Quirinal, Viminal, and Esquiline hills, the Suburra was a neighborhood that never quite fit Rome’s polished image.
