Me = I write, I edit, I speak Italian, I teach & I do some translation, too. Plus, I love these little sugar-dusted donuts that the Italians call ciambelline. Ciambellina = Chah-Mm-Bayl-LEEna. Welcome & start reading!

Dov'è Ciambellina? A lavoro!
Ciao Cari Amici,
It's been a bit quiet here in Ciambellina land and I do apologize!
Such is the life of a freelance writer: lately I've been pretty busy writing stories for local publications and preparing radio scripts for the NPR affiliate here in Atlanta (radio pubblico).
Yes, I'm on the radio!
Here's a link to a story I wrote about streetcars (trams) in Savannah:

And here's a link to a radio story I wrote about an endangered historic property:

Però, lest you think I've forgotten about Italy and its wonderful language, I leave you with the photo above -- a lifesize sculpture of a horse sketched by Leonardo da Vinci.
I took this photo at the High Museum in Atlanta, which had a small exhibit on Leonardo this winter.
