I lived in the city of Livorno from 1976 to 1981, and worked near Pisa. On quiet days at work, I would take my lunch and go into Pisa, and eat my lunch at the top of the leaning tower and watch all the tourists who had saved all their lives to come and spend a couple weeks visit in Italy, and constantly reassure myself that I actually LIVE there.

I also lived and worked near the small town of Oderzo from 1986 to 1988.

I traveled extensively during my time in Italy, and was awed by the history that surrounded me.

My son was baptized in a church that dated back to the 14th century, and had been in active use as a church SINCE that time. My youngest daughter was born in Calambrone, Italy and holds dual citizenship.

I have so many irreplaceable and fond memories of living there...

Firenza (Florence) is probably my favorite city in the whole world.
