Profile Information

About Me:
My name is Tara, and I'm a twenty something year old Italian-American.
I'm originally from Providence, RI, but I lived in NYC for a few years and worked at a city agency. This past year I have been bouncing around between Boston and NY, and also spent a month of the summer in Italy. Now I am getting ready to settle down in D.C. to begin a two year master's program in Sociology. I don't many people there, so it would be good to know if there are any people from i-italy living there. I look forward to getting involved with the Italian-American community in D.C.

Also, I am part of a team of volunteers running the website longdistancevoter.org which is a comprehensive guide for those that need to register to vote within the U.S. or cast an absentee ballot within the U.S. If you are a U.S. citizen and need to do either of these things, please visit the site for information and downloadable forms. It is all free!

Can I just say how disappointed I am to have spent five weeks in Italy this summer, and to find Italian artists that I enjoy, but not be able to download them on I-tunes. I hate adding applications to my computer for other music downloading sites, so it looks like I will have to do it the old-fashioned way....order import CD's online =(

In Italia

So my time is winding down now, and soon I will be on a plane back to New York. I can't believe that I have been Italy for a little over a month, the time has passed so quickly. I started my vacation with a few days in Roma, and then a quick visit to Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, and Amalfi, all of which I loved. Although, the it was a bit too hot for my liking, the scenery was amazing (pictures soon to come), and the people were very kind. Since the beginning of July, I have been living with two o… Continue

Summertime in Italy

I am very excited, as I just bought my ticket yesterday for Italy. I will be studying Italian language in Perugia for the month of July, but I will be arriving a few days early to do some traveling of my own. I am flying into Rome, but hope to travel to Naples and Caserta. Any suggestions for where I should go specifically? I would like to travel to the villages that my great grandparents are from in Caserta. I have no idea what to expect though.

Hi Tara! My name is Angela. I live in Italy, in Rome, but I am an american citizen too, because my father was an emigrant! I made a video about Obama and our story as Italian Americans. It's a video about hope. Please, if you can, just watch it and send it to all your italian american friends. Let me know what do you think about it!

PS. My English is really bad! I'm sorry!

Politics aside and whether or not you like Hillary, what is your feeling inside about the possibility of having a female in such a high office? My sense is that, even if frequently it is not stated, Hilary's election could be considered an important coup for women. Does Hillary's election inspire buried sense of pride, one that signifies that women have finally arrived?

Please don't tell me ROTFL!!
I joke on this because is something like a return to our root.
In ancient time there was a turkish coming down, usually a "moro" (arab black people). If he was able to come to the end of the rope he had from the Doge money in change for the flowers he bring down from the bell tower.
But Marco Balich (artistic director for 2007 carnival) is an ...incapable.
Lot of venetians don't like him at all, ha made a such horrible carnival, a carnival we use to say "insipido", without taste :-)

Hi Tara, well, if u want to learn italian I can help you a little.

The place on your photo si Chiesa Grande di S. Marco, now the Venice's hospital.
Close this old palace thera is the third (for me) most beautyful church in Venice.
When you visit my hometown?
