Elisabeth Catuogno

American citizen, Italian resident married to an Italian, 2 young children.

I've lived in Italy for about ten years, spent summers here as a child and have most definitely "gone native". I live in Orvieto, Umbria but we used to live on Capri, where my husband is from and we now spend our summers. I've had lots of important life experiences here - marriage, births, new career and now schooling for my children, and this country never ceases to amaze me in all of its infinite contradictions. I speak fluent Italian and good French and am grateful for the years of Latin I studied as a child. I feel very connected, through my own Neapolitan heritage, to the rich Roman culture of this country, particularly in Campania where I lived for so long.

I love the sea, cooking and eating, walking in the countryside, reading and discovering new places and people and especially having friends from the US come to visit.
