Journey With Pasquale Esposito
Much has been said and written of the Italian tenor… some say that they are as plentiful as the stars and as alike as penny’s in a pond, but I say, each tenor brings something different to his performance, and the difference they bring can either create a great performer or just another penny in that pound. Pasquale Esposito brings something exceptionally different to his performances, the talent and charisma a singer must have to fulfill the true tradition of the admired and gifted tenor.

Padre Pio

Back to School in Italy
School is different in Italy. During the summer in the United States families are pummeled with ads for school supplies, clothing, and stuff for making quick brown bag lunches. At the start of summer, the stores remind you that school is just around the corner and by the end of August, you feel as though you are already smack in the middle of Halloween and Thanksgiving. In Italy, people consider the summer, especially August with its vacation days and Ferragosto celebration, magical.

The Fun Fig
I recently had the opportunity to enjoy a fig picked right from the tree and it immediately brought me back to my youth. Growing up Italian-American it seemed only natural to have 4 fig trees in my backyard. Of course I later found out that most of my classmates had apple trees in their backyard and that I was the rare person with the fig trees blossoming full of figs in my backyard.
