"I grew up speaking Italian and Arbresh in the home, traveling to Italy annually to visit family and visit the sites. This fostered a deep appreciation for languages, word origins, history, art and the intersection of civilizations. I still visit Italy frequently to see new places and visit family.

I attended the Dante Alighieri School throughout high school and earned a trip Italy that included a visit the Dante Alighieri Cultural Society headquarters in Rome.

I majored in Italian Studies, as well as Art History at Boston University. And I continue to follow Italian news from the US for current events and lingo; I also continue to speak Italian in the home and with friends.

I have a BA in Italian Studies, I speak Italian in my home and with many friends, I visit Italy at least yearly, and I love understanding word roots, grammar, idioms, etc.

I have a BA in Art History, I am a member at the MFA Boston, I am very interested in art from antiquity and classical times, medieval, Renaissance, through 20th century American artists. I particularly adore Italian art as I've studied it thoroughly and seen so much in person.

I'm enthusiastic and consider art and language to be alive and still-evolving. Both are amazing insights into other cultures. Contact me and studying can be fun." less...
