I so look forward to your newsletters. It seems each one resonates with me for at least one thing. This one was a home run. I've been waiting for Domus Tiberiana to reopen & wouldn't you know it, I won't be in Roma this fall for the first time in years. Also, I try to convince myself (with absolutely no empirical evidence) that I am related to Giordano Bruno. I send a prayer to him each time I'm in Campo de Fiori. As I also say prayers for the people whose lives were lost and marked by Stolpersteines throughout the EU. It seems now that we have never learned. Lastly, and I am almost reluctant to say this, Malta is a marvel. I work on an archaeological project there and have fallen in love. I'm close to getting dual Italian citizenship and Malta is a place I'm considering. I love all things Mediterranean but Malta is a place where you just know you're someplace different. It's like New Orleans. It's American but also different. I might actually try the Dead Man's Bones. Thanks, and as always, anxiously awaiting your next novel. Stai bene.....
