After finding my roots in the tiny fishing village of Lacco Ameno, Ischia, I became a dual citizen and was beckoned to live in the country that my family had to abandon in 1904. They would never live to know that their dream would be fulfilled through their children. They would never live to know that a century and three generations later, the circle would be completed, returning one of their children back, to love as they never could, the land that was once theirs.

Another Great Ride Today!
Today, a refreshing ride up north again to Bvigliano, Monte Senario, Polcanto and Fiesole. Got a call from Dominick while riding, asking me if I could guide a tour on August 8th, so I have 2 tours coming up in the next week. Chilled out under the pine trees and enjoyed the panorama from Monte Senario. Enjoyed much the rolling hills of the backroad to Polcanto. Did about 4,000 feet of climbing in 48 miles. Very memorable ride. Later on, heard from Dario, who wants to talk to me about guiding a week-long tour for his company in September. Lots of fun coming up! Ended the day taking a spin on my city bike to San Frediano and watched the sunset from the Ponte Vecchio.
