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.

A Tough Ride
Today I had a very vigorous ride through Vallombrosa and Passo della Consuma with Rebecca. The amout of climbing was alot for such a warm day, but the vistas were phenomenal. We stopped to fill our water bottles at the benedictine monastery at Abbazia di Vallombrosa where a concert was playing in the church. And then on to climb through a towering, refreshing pine forest until we reached the Passo della Consuma. It was a very hard but satisfying climb and it was a new destination for me.
