I cannot emphasize how happy and grateful I am to return to Torremaggiore. It has been three years since I have been here. Yesterday, we had a beautiful ride through the mountains. My heart melted as Torremaggiore came into view on the hillside. We were greeted at our B&B by Signore Grassi, and he cooked us a fabulous four course meal yesterday, featuring local cheese and bruschetta, tortellini in brodo (in broth), veal scallopini limone, followed by fruit for dessert. To see the B&B and the town through my students’ eyes has been such a joy! They seem to already love it here and have spent the day exploring town. As it is Sunday, everyone was out on the main street promenading after church. Dr. Weber and I strolled down the main street and stopped for a delicious cappuccino at a local cafe and watched the world go by. Tomorrow, we will visit town hall to meet the mayor and other dignitaries. This is very special because Buffalo is a sister city of Torremaggiore. Mayor Brown’s picture is in the mayor’s office here, as is the Erie County flag! We will also start our work with children at Scuola Elementare Emilio Ricci! Returning to this town feels like returning home - I have missed the people, the culture, the history, and the food so very much!
