Hi!
surfing in Internet I found your blog and I’m so happy for it. I live in Liguria too, in Genoa and I’ve started a blog on travelling in Liguria due to my passion for this region. I would be happy to exchange our links.

What do you think?
Please let me know
Ciao
Anna

Hi Anna ~ I’ve been away and am only just now getting organized. Will take a peek at your blog asap – I already love the title…

I need help in finding some historical reference or information on my grandfather Gennaro Rusconi. Born on 29 Mar 1893 who was held a prisoner at the Castello in Rapallo and was to be executed, but was saved at at 11th hour after pleas by my mother.

Am meeting someone tomorrow who may be able to help – will let you know.

Hi Louise — I just thought you should have my real
email.
In the sgabei post, you quoted Fred McGourty. Is that THE Fred McGourty, of Norfolk, CT, the
famous plantsman and garden designer? We’ve met — Castle and I went to a wedding in Norfolk years ago and a mutual friend took us to the McGourtys’ garden. Small world! xo Alice

Hello, Fern-
Oh, my goodness. You’ve stumbled on a moral lapse of mine. I just grabbed that photo – if it’s the one I think you’re talking about, a sunset desert island – from Google images with no thought of attribution. I’m not the photographer – just a thoughtless pirate! Yikes.
So, um….have at it?
And, au contraire – your blog looks very interesting. I spent a few months in Italy many years ago, a little east of Florence, and loved it. I’ve bookmarked it, so I will darken your doorstep again.
I feel sad that I don’t have some pompelmo gelato in a bowl in front of me right now.
Yours,
Tina Rowley
