About “Loving Lardo”
Did you ever think to yourself, “I don’t want to just visit Italy, I want to  actually live amongst the Italians!”  Take a long sojourn to Italy through the  eyes, ears and stomach of an American who left it all for a 17- year  adventure living in Northern Italy.  You may never leave …

In Loving Lardo, an American woman proves to herself that it is possible  to not just visit Italy, but to live, work and thrive there, marry, buy a house,  give birth, divorce, launch two businesses, then continue to live the good life with no regrets – even adding a couple of years of good living in Austria and Russia for good measure.
