A novel that brings readers on a journey through Italy
At The Art of Loving Italy, we celebrate all forms of artistic expression—painting, film, music, literature, and even the art of storytelling itself. Art is a bridge that connects us to history, emotions, and our dreams. That is precisely the heart of Dreaming Sophia, my novel that brings readers on a journey through Italy, blending reality with fantasy, art with history, and language with imagination.
To share more about my book, my creative process, and the inspiration behind it, I recorded a special YouTube video chat where I talk about Dreaming Sophia—switching between Italian and English to immerse readers in the beauty of the language and culture.

Shortly after publishing Dreaming Sophia, I wanted to personally introduce it to readers through a video conversation. In this bilingual YouTube chat, I discuss:
The inspiration behind Dreaming Sophia and how Italy influenced my writing
My experience crafting a novel that blends art, literature, and history
Why storytelling is a powerful way to connect with Italian culture
How language plays a key role in the novel, with characters speaking and dreaming in both English and Italian
Throughout the video, I switch between the two languages—making it both an engaging introduction to the book and a fun way for Italian learners to practice listening comprehension.
