Introducing RENO ITALIANO, our HGTV pilot!
Posted on January 12, 2021

Introducing RENO ITALIANO, our HGTV pilot!

I can finally talk about it and I’m trying to be zen.  As if it’s just another day at the office.  However, I have zero chill and I’m completely geeking out.  The renovation TV show pilot I’ve been working on will air this Friday on HGTV.   Yes, that channel.  Seriously, what is my life right now?   Our show is … Continue reading Introducing RENO ITALIANO, our HGTV pilot!

Lockdown in the Caribbean –  No Liming

Lockdown in the Caribbean – No Liming

Greetings from my parents’s veranda. Liming is Caribbean slang for hanging out.  Spending time with family and friends.  A party.   There’s no liming going on here. I arrived in St. Martin a day before all Air France flights to and from Italy were canceled.  Sheer luck.  I had booked my trip after a major … Continue reading Lockdown in the Caribbean – No Liming

The Most Beautiful Private Terrace in Rome *

The Most Beautiful Private Terrace in Rome *

Last week my friend Livia invited me to an intimate lunch at the lovely home of Marchesa Violante Guerrieri Gonzaga.   Violante is one of the most down to earth Marchese I’ve ever met.  Hello, I’ve met people who are Kings and Queens of nothing and yet, as the kids would say, they had a … Continue reading The Most Beautiful Private Terrace in Rome *

Marcello Mastroianni Exhibit at the Museo dell’Ara Pacis

Happy New(ish) Year! I’ve read it’s okay to say this until the end of the month.  I made it just under the wire.  I cannot believe February 1st is next week. I’ve been meaning to check out the new exhibit at the Ara Pacis since the day it opened.  It closes February 17th.  If you … Continue reading Marcello Mastroianni Exhibit at the Museo dell’Ara Pacis

Italian Chic – by Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla

Italian Chic – by Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla

I have written about Franco – Italian Chez Dédé before.  I heard about this incredibly talented and creative couple, Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla, from the late great Wonderfool.  My friend Courtney and I met the lovely Daria at the store/spa and wanted to buy all their bags. Daria and Andrea are quite modest.  I didn’t learn … Continue reading Italian Chic – by Daria Reina and Andrea Ferolla

La Biennale Venice – 2018

My friend Erica invited me to join her on a press trip for the preview of the 16th Architecture Biennale.  I haven’t been to any of the Biennale.  I follow the art, cinema, and architecture ones on social media but it’s not the same. My first (and last) trip to Venice was twelve years ago, … Continue reading La Biennale Venice – 2018

Montepulciano – Under A Tuscan Sun

The other week, my friend Michelle and I decided to meet in Chiusi for lunch and then take the train to Montepulciano, a hill town in southern Tuscany near Siena. Michelle lives in Florence and Chiusi was the prefect half-way point.  However, once we were in Chiusi we saw the sporadic train schedule and noticed … Continue reading Montepulciano – Under A Tuscan Sun

Ten Years Ago I Moved to Rome, Italy

Ten Years Ago I Moved to Rome, Italy

The two things people ask me all the time when they’ve learn how long I’ve lived here are, if I have any regrets or when am I moving back to America. If this were a sabbatical, I would’ve moved back by now and more importantly, I wouldn’t have gone through the hell that is getting … Continue reading Ten Years Ago I Moved to Rome, Italy

Design Inspiration – Palazzo Reale, Naples, Italy

Design Inspiration – Palazzo Reale, Naples, Italy

The Royal Palace of Naples is a must on my list of things to do in Naples.  I wasn’t able to  visit until my third trip and now I want to return just so I could spend more time there. The audio tour is interesting and informative.  Palazzo Reale is one of four royal palaces … Continue reading Design Inspiration – Palazzo Reale, Naples, Italy

Polignano a Mare, Puglia – Italy

Polignano a Mare, Puglia – Italy

One of the highlights of my retreat in Puglia with Eat, Pray, Move, Yoga, was our day trip to Polignano a Mare. There are not enough adjectives to describe how beautiful it was, so I hope my photos will help. Polignano a Mare is an approximately forty minute drive from Bari.  It’s the birthplace of … Continue reading Polignano a Mare, Puglia – Italy
