North Beach: An Italian American Neighborhood?
Several months ago I was given a ride from an Italian woman who lives part time with her husband in a small town in Istria, but who works in a hospital in Trieste. As we made our way to the train station, one of us mentioned that the Chinese were investing in this or that feature of the city, probably the harbor; it is funny that it was one of thos...
Il Molise si prende la rivincita: il New York Times lo incorona «meta dell’anno»
Il New York Times mette il Molise fra le 52 mete da visitare nel 2020 ed è la rivincita della Regione che ha il record negativo in tutte le classifiche sul turismo, oltre che su natalità, disoccupazione, spopolamento.

Our Lady of Loreto, a Romanesque-style Catholic church, stood at the corner of Sackman and Pacific Streets in Brooklyn for 110 years until 2018, when it was demolished due to extreme disrepair.
