As the emoji suggests, it was offered more in jest. There is a degree of truth to it, however, as Americans are rarely seen in this beautiful part of Italy. Rather, they succumb to the mainstream advertising about Tuscany. So, as an American, I relish the opportunity to spend time in a place where my countrymen are not crawling all over the place.
If you continue to feel this is odd, please feel free to block me from further communication on your site.
I was just curious. Since the post didn't mention Le Marche, but then again I didn't mention most of the other regions tourists don't make it to. Also, I try not to single out any one nationality when it comes to tourism, and this one (albeit in jest) seemed to be a bit harsh towards Americans, since you speak about 'containing' them and keeping them from 'crawling all over the place.' I for one would LOVE it if more tourists went to Le Marche. Or to Calabria, Basilicata, Abruzzo and Campania. Those regions actually could use more tourist funds pumped into them to help develop desperately needed infrastructure. And I do my best to publicize these regions just for this reason. I don't block you from this site, because I hope that through this conversation I've perhaps shared a side of tourism in Italy that you weren't aware of.
Okay, thanks for your friendly feedback. I get your point about the connection between tourism and infrastructure in some of the least visited regions of Italy. Perhaps we'll run into each other one day in a place like Senigallia, Corinaldo or Archevia. Cheers.
Reading your comments about Florence brought back many memories of many times spent in that beautiful city. As for budino di riso, my favorite is from Maioli on Via de Gucciardini.
Dreamy room and so happy to see artichoke season back. And thank you SO MUCH for including the pre-order for The Olive Oil Enthusiast! We are so excited for people to get their hands on our book. Xx
I am spending the last week of April in Rome, my first visit since COVID. Staying in the Monti area with a kitchen, so definitely going to the markets. Love using your Eat Rome app, any suggestions to replace this? Even restaurant recommendations?
What a fun read!!!
Thanks!

Sorry we missed sharing artichokes with you guys in Rome!
Next time! Or we can get you down to Calabria HAHAHA!
What an enjoyable read!
thank you!
Lunch on the terrace! A dream. :)
Oh darn!! I meant to include a link to your new book too!! Will have to be next month. When does it come out? Not for a while, right?
Oh my goodness! No worries and no rush. Preorders are live, but it doesn't come out until early fall. Thank you so much for your support. :)
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is the best book I've read in YEARS. Glad you're enjoying!!
So glad you thought so too! I really just stumbled upon it and so happy I did. What are you reading now?
Reading “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone” which is very good!

So happy to see that LeMarche remains an under reported region of Italy. Let's keep the Americans contained in Tuscany (and Puglia)😂
I'm sorry, but this is such an odd comment. Curious what motivated it?
I am planning a trip to Florence in May so this is brilliant — thank you!
