This is definitely my longest and most self-indulgent episode so far, but I do hope you find it entertaining and informative. Join me as I go down memory lane and talk about how Italian has always been part of my life. Besides always being aware of a distant relative from Italy with a crazy story on how he moved to Brazil at the turn of the 20th century, I ended up marrying someone with Italian roots as well―and we found his long-lost cousins in Sicily while backpacking through Italy.

Here are some links if you would like to learn more about Italian-related things I mention in this episode:
