Ciao from Tuscany
Left San Francisco in 1984, never to look back! I found home her in Florence.
After 25 years here, I have been through so much red tape it has almost killed me, but am married to a fabulous Florentine that we struggle together.
Food and wine are my passion. I have taught cooking for the past 20 years and now am doing walking tours of the market , custom culinary weeks and also trying to start a writing career.
I have a monthly column right now in The American Magazinepublished in Rome.
I left Florence and live in the middle of an olive grove outside of Certaldo in "the other Chianti" with too many cats.

Re: Ciao from Tuscany
Welcome on board Diva!
Why did you originally move to Italy?
It would be interesting to be in touch with the American Magazine team, I should send them an email.

Re: Ciao from Tuscany
What a great story and life....I would be happy to have half of your courage and spunk. You really earned the name Diva. I am considering leaving LA for Italy and am swamped with concerns and questions, so would love to chat from time to time and share info. Would love to buy a villa to turn into a language school/B&B,maybe with a little vineyard and olive orchard. Bravo on your beautiful life............Debbie.
