Thank you for this post, Siggie. On reading the website, it seems one can become a "friend" upon payment of 30 euro. I think I just might do that, when I go to see the presepe. What does Sandro want for Christmas this year? Reply Delete

Sandro had been asking for an electric guitar for about a year--he's gone in phases of strumming more or less frequently on a little acoustic since he was 2. And, alas, he got a 3/4-sized one, with a little amp... Delete

Sig. Nonloso whelen engineering In November 2010 my wife, our 3-year-old son, and I moved from Brooklyn, NY to Venice, whelen engineering Italy. Born and raised in California, I'd lived in NYC since 1993--except for a 2 year period from 2007-09 when my wife and I lived in Asheville, NC, where our son was born. I have dual American-Italian citizenship and am equally divided between Sicilian blood on my mother's side and Genovese on my father's. I've published a novel with a major press, some journalism, and worked a variety of jobs. View my complete profile
