Have you ever noticed the power of flavor and aroma to transport you to places far from home, but close to your heart?
One night this week it was storming in Tampa. Our usual evening walk was not possible. So, instead, my husband reached for one of our special bottles of wine and we went out on the porch to listen to the rain and dream of Tuscany.
Today, we will share with you the winery that has brought us and all...2020-09-1111 min
Passion For Italy Travel PodcastPassion for Italy Podcast Episode 14: Reaching for the Stars with Dante - How Learning the Italian Language Changes EverythingToday we’re talking about the Italian language. Its beauty, its history, and how we can use this time when many of us cannot travel to Italy, to be able to assimilate once we land in Il Bel Paese.
This is a hard time we’re facing, for many reasons. Illness, job loss, fear of both, exciting plans cancelled, trips to Italy cancelled, couldn’t we all use something good to focus on? A way to not only better ourselves but make those trips we hope to take in the not so distant future even more special?

Passion For Italy Travel PodcastPassion for Italy Podcast Episode 11: Sardegna, A Sea of Dreams with Lindsay SinkoWe turned on the news one evening this week. I sighed my nightly sigh. Here we go again. More fear. More anger. More uncertainty. More isolation.
But then, my husband picked up his guitar and began to play the first few notes of Spunta la Luna Dal Monte, a song we adore by Andrea Parodi and Pierangelo Bertoli. It’s sung in a mix of Italian and Sardinian. As he played, we looked at each other and immediately, my spirit calmed. I realized, this is why we have to keep going. Because no one can distance us from our dreams. No...2020-07-1708 min
