Mark Tedesco is a writer and educator residing in California. Having lived in Italy for eight years, he enjoys weaving stories connecting the present to the past and exploring how deep human longings are expressed in relationships, events, culture and history.

Mark has written in the genres of travel, historical fiction, memoir, self-help and childrens’ fiction. His titles include: That Undeniable Longing, I am John I am Paul, Lessons and Beliefs, The Dog on the Acropolis and Loving Hoping Believing. Mark’s Dixi Books title, She Seduced Me: A Love Affair with Rome, brings to life Mark’s love for the magic of a city, in which he weaves history, personal stories and interviews into a tale that, little by little, also seduces the reader.

This is a great question and I love Venice also. But I lived in Rome and and know the city from the inside, so I felt more qualified to write a book about Rome, since it is based on my experiences.
I am finishing a book about Puglia now, since I've also spent a lot of time there and will start living there part of the year. Thanks Raphael!(less)

Our Italian Adventure: Duplicating one's life in Italy

PART 109: It might be interesting to share how we pulled off living in Italy for part of the year. I will post some steps and what we are learning along the way.

Basically, is presents Charles as someone who is starving himself to th
