WE to test girlfriends is a verbatim account of the traveling oddities that happened to me on my many trips and weekends in central Italy.

For example, when I stood semi-naked on the street in the winter in Città di Castello; or of one of the times I won a lottery coming back from a long weekend in Le Marche.

The featured photo is taken from inside St. Patrick’s Well in Orvieto.

There are 2 constants in central Italy: the remarkable satisfaction that eating and drinking provide and also the many remnants of ancient Rome. I find this article on how the ancient Romans drank extremely interesting.

Ho sempre avuto tante passioni, ma da sempre più o meno latenti, le principali sono viaggiare e scrivere. Tra le altre cose ho una laurea in psicologia; ho fatto per più di 30 anni l’allenatore di basket; leggo tanti libri; sono stato molto appassionato di sport e di musica rock; e faccio improvvisazione teatrale. IL mio primo romanzo, che non parla di viaggi, si chiama LE TUE GAMBE SONO BELLE COME LE TAGLIATELLE
