Ciao...I'm a curious, romantic sort of person with a fondness for literature, philosophy, art, and old-fashioned pleasures. I love Edith Wharton and Henry James, independent cinema, old postcards, gardening, long walks, and wandering through bookshops. I grew up in Rome and Paris and now live in California. I spend my time reading, exploring, and thinking about life's little mysteries. I enjoy thoughtful conversations, dry humour, and getting to know people through letters. I'd love to exchange ideas about books, life, and everything in between. x
