    Ciao
    I just happen to stumble upon your site. I lived a Florence for a bit myself and enjoyed every moment of it. I am black and married to an Italian from Molise. Could i purchase any of your books in the states or borrow them from a library? I am avid reader of anything regarding Italy. Hope to here from you soon.
    A dopo

  3. Hi Kenya! Nice that you found us. You can purchase Andrea's books via Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover images in the post above.

    The first group of books are for book buyers in the US. THe second is for people shopping from the UK. The third is for shoppers in France, and the last is for people living in Germany.

    And of course check your local library!

  4. I am considering moving to Italy ……where it is purported that Italian men love black women….is there any validity to this?

  5. Hi atl5432,

    I do not think you can say that all Italian men like all black women, but from my personal experience they are not afraid to let womenknow if they find you attractive. And includes Black women.
