		<description><![CDATA[Rossella and I returned to Italy the week before Christmas, having been away since June 30th. That was the longest period I&#8217;d spent out of Italy in 18 years.
I was uneasy about this re-entry, expecting it to be traumatic. I thought I would be making a decision about whether I would ever willingly live in [...]]]></description>

At this time of year, Italy&#8217;s newsstands offer a variety of calendars to suit every taste, from fast cars to naked women. But this one startled me, not least because it would seem to be in violation of Italy&#8217;s law against apologia del fascismo (&#8220;apology for Fascism&#8221;), which prescribes penalties against whoever &#8220;pubblicamente esalta esponenti, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My life is lived in multiples.

I've read books, articles, and blogs about multicultural marriage, living, and child-raising. I have written about being a third-culture kid, raising a bilingual child, and living and trying to work in a foreign country.

But this is the big question, more difficult than any of the above: how can a marriage survive being made up of two people whose careers are equally important to each? ]]></description>

Once again, I&#8217;m doing something unusual: leaving my husband behind in Italy while I move (mostly) to the US for work.
And, as usual, I&#8217;m struggling to  explain to people what I&#8217;m doing and why. (The story of my life is that there is almost no question about me to which a simple answer can [...]]]></description>

^ Tibetan prayer flags in Lecco 
When we moved to Lecco, we consolidated the contents of our household from Milan with Enrico&#8217;s parents&#8217; stuff from their apartment in Rome (they were by then retired to a much smaller place on the seaside in Abruzzo). 
In this way we acquired some beautiful furniture, fixtures,  knick-knacks, [...]]]></description>
