Happy New Year! 

I know it’s a bit late, but I took some time off for the holidays and have spent a good part of January working on new plans for Milano Style and Lake Como Style. I also worked on some behind the scenes improvements that will make the sites easier and faster to use. Below are new stories and some you may have missed.  Leisure travel to Italy is still on hold, as well as our local lives while we are (again) in lockdown.  I will keep sharing my discoveries, so notifications and updates.

Wishing you all the best for 2021!

My Italian Connection

Behind every experience of an expat living in Italy, there is a story. My short-term stay turned into a lifetime commitment.
