I am not a travel blogger

With all due respect to those who are, I feel that much of the travel blogging I see on the internet is the equivalent of Uncle Sid's slideshow from his trip cross country.  It is interesting to those who know the person and is often a great way for folks to keep in touch from the road.  That is not the goal of my blog however.   I am an unabashed Italophile.  I love all things Italian (well, maybe not tripe).  I love talking about Italy, reading about Italy and sharing what I know about Italy.  Thus the reason for this blog. I prefer that you think of this as the inside track to things Italian. I will talk about food, wine, art and culture, great unknown hotels and restaurants and above all completely irrelevant but curious things about Italy and the Italians. If you are a lover of things Italian check back here frequently.  Some regular features will include Word of the Week, Top Ten lists and Today's Pick.  I would love to hear your comments and feedback as well.  So, until next time - Ciao!
