What's it like to move abroad, all the way from Texas to Florence, Italy, learn the language to perfection, and establish yourself there so fully that you become known internationally simply as the "Girl in Florence," only to find yourself moving to a new country where you're unfamiliar with the culture and don't speak the language—in the midst of a worldwide pandemic no less?! That's what today's guest  did a number of years ago. We sit down with freelance writer, social media consultant, and founder of Girl in Florence Georgette Jupe to hear about the challenges of becoming an expat for the second time, have a child in a new-to-you country in the wake of Covid-19, overcome those challenges to make a life for your family there, and then get the news that it's time to move back to Florence! This interview touches on the resilience necessary for a successful life abroad, the challenges of language learning, the near-impossibility of passing the Italian driver's licence exam, and many other engaging and interested topics. Don't miss it! You can find more from Georgette on Instagram or at her website. ***Katy's sister Dana has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 agressive brain cancer.

“If you go to buy a beautiful men's suit from a famous brand, you can go to Tokyo, New York, London or in Rome, and it would be the same because it's a brand, okay? So why do you travel? But in Florence, you go to a great tailor who will do a beautiful suit. You decide the textile, you decide the buttons and all the details that you love. And this is a unique piece just for you. And this is what we create every day, for every guest, in a different way. This is the sense of place.”We're in great company with Claudio Meli, the General Manager of The Place Firenze and Michela Babini, the Director of The Place of Wonders Foundation, who together, are tailoring their spirit of hospitality and their curated senses of the guest experience for a new generation of immersive travelers, dedicated to promoting and preserving the heritage of Italian craft. Here, The Place Firenze extends a warm Tuscan welcome, well deserving of their international awards and recognitions as a timeless classic reinventing made-to-measure hospitality - where every detail is inspired by the enduring beauty and traditional artisanship they are proud to have in their beloved city. In this episode, Claudio and Michela delight in the tales and testimonials that continue to unfold as they create a new home for us as travelers to visit in Florence - while curating the next generation of artisans and makers molding Italian craft into a modern day Renaissance.    Top Takeaways[3:40] What makes The Hospitality Experience one precious thread woven between hospitality and experience, one family with a long history of curating hotels, one collection of new ideas? Three hotels strongly rooted in remarkable places - Londra Palace in Venice, Borgo dei Conti in Umbria, and The Place Firenze. [4:50] Claudio's love for Florence radiates as he shares stories of his beloved city - a rare treasure where Renaissance masterpieces line the streets and Tuscan vineyards roll just beyond, creating an enchanting blend of art and terroir that has inspired generations.[18:10] The Place Firenze is “deeply connected to its daily life, artistic heritage and lively cultural scene in this vibrant Tuscan city,” from the Scagliola tabletops to the Ginori porcelain table settings, from the Pamploni engraved silver glasses the Spaghetto al Pomodoro and Negroni Experience savored in such company.  [28:30] Michela's passion speaks for itself as she shares how The Place of Wonders Foundation breathes life into Italy's cultural heritage by connecting curious travelers with master artisans in Florence, Venice, and Perugia, while nurturing the next generation of craftspeople through dedicated scholarship programs. [32:50] From designing zero kilometer sneakers in Florence to molding glass beads in Murano to weaving on ancient looms in Umbria - the foundation is creating an immersive journey for travelers and the next generation of makers alike - where traditional techniques meet contemporary innovation in workshops that have shaped Italian artistry for centuries.[41:15] Both Claudio and Michela agree there is so much left to be discovered in and around Florence, but it will take a future with more guests seeking slow travel, slow food, and slow moments, to really uncover those hidden gems. Notable MentionsFabbri Pasta ArtigianaleLaudemio Olio Extravergine Di Oliva Fattoria di Maiano Piazzale MichelangeloView from the Church of San MiniatoTrattoria Sergio GozziSanto Spirito or the “Oltrarno” on the other side of the ArnoRistorante La GiostraMuseo del NovecentoCastello di Ama Chianti WineryVisit For YourselfThe Place Firenze Website | @theplacefirenzeThe Place of Wonders Website | @theplaceofwonders.foundationThe Hospitality Experience Website | @the.hospitality.experience

Matthew Mullaney was only 21 when he left Massachusetts to study abroad in Italy.  But just a few weeks after his arrival, on January 31st 2003,  Matthew left an Irish pub and disappeared without a trace. His disappearance triggered an international search across Europe,  with several unconfirmed sightings reported until around 2006.  After that, the trail went cold. Many theories have emerged about what might have happened to Matthew,  but as of today, he remains missing.  His case continues to be one of the most mysterious disappearances  involving Americans abroad.

Eating pizza in Florence, Italy at Piccadilly Bar and Pizza

You've heard the saying a picture is worth a thousand words. Capturing the emotions of pride, hope, excitement, joy, nostalgia, loyalty, courage, and even pain is what Licensed Husker Artist Ashley Spitsnogle has mastered. Today on Husker Talk, Ashley tells the story of how drawing horses and mermaids as a girl led to painting our Husker heroes. As a native, her passion for athletics was ingrained at a young age, sitting next to her Dad watching the Huskers play on TV every Saturday.  Her passion grew when she attended an art school in Florence Italy. This is where Ashley realized she would be happy to paint for the rest of her life. Ashley's mainstay as an artist is philanthropy: She illustrated the children's book ‘Josh the Baby Otter', which brings awareness to child safety around water. ‘The Last Tunnel Walk' was a painting for Heartfelt Inc. which benefited grieving parents. Depicting Brook Berringer and Sam Foltz, two Husker football players who lost their lives to fatal accidents, as they walk the tunnel walk together toward a bright light. A painting of the legendary coach Tom Osborne and Brook Berringer for the TeamMates Mentoring program that The Osbornes began in 1991. As she said this painting depicts so many aspects of Husker football and mentorship. She even used her talent to shed light on the Nebraskan farmer at a critical moment in time. As they endured flooding and she saw the pain it caused, Ashley painted an unforgettable image titled “Healing the Heartland” depicting how others gathered around their neighbors to help by trucking in loads of hay. I really enjoyed hearing her stories of hope and excitement for Husker Football as she spoke about her extraordinary Husker paintings. Thursday, August 29th Ashley is hosting an art event with all 3 Heisman Trophy Winners in attendance. The event is at Main Street Studios & Art Gallery in Elkhorn, to attend, RSVP https://www.ashleyspitsnogle.com/ and please keep in mind this is not a memorabilia signing event.

Between 1968 and 1985, eight couples having sex in either parked vehicles or a tent in remote areas just outside of Florence, Italy were murdered. The killer shot them with the same .22 handgun. And from four of the women, the killer took a brutal trophy.... their vagina. As morbidly fascinating and troubling as these crimes are, the inept, corrupt, and superstitious  investigation into catching the killer is even  more troubling and fascinating. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/v3Wt9iIp-kIMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

Episode Florence, Italy part 2   Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest's 5 Steps to Solo Travel Guide   In this episode, the FAQ is: What should I do about travel insurance?   Today's Destination is Florence, Italy. Part 2   Today's Misstep- Narrow sidewalks and missing street name signage in Florence   Travel Advice: Airfares are climbing in price, so beware of sticker shock.   FAQ: What should I do about travel insurance?   I don't have any financial affiliations with travel insurance companies, but I would follow some best practices. It's not too late to add them if you need them. I have health insurance worldwide, and my credit card may cover additional travel items. Solo travelers should care about this. https://www.squaremouth.com/travel-advice/category/travel-insurance-faq   https://www.accademia.org/explore-museum/artworks/michelangelos-david/#google_vignette https://florencetips.com/churches-in-florence.html https://www.santacroceopera.it/en/     Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

Florence, Italy Part 1   Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest's 5 Steps to Solo Travel Guide  The FAQ is: My friend Jean asked about recommendations for the best rental car deals.  Today's Destination is Florence, Italy. Part 1 Today's Misstep-  Legal troubles: I was caught in Florence without a bus ticket and fined 42.5 euros. Travel Advice: Bring an umbrella for shade FAQ: My friend Jean asked for recommendations for the best rental car deals this year. She says it used to cost more if you picked it up at the airport, but now it's the opposite. She's asking for the best deals, whether AAA, Sam's Club, Expedia, Kayak, Booking, etc. They all seem extra high to her. Answer: Yes, the car rental business is doing well these days. I remember when, during COVID-19, I booked a car in Denver for eight days for $32. No longer is that the case. My best thing is to shop around and keep shopping. Finding your best deal may take a few or even 30 minutes, but it's worth waiting. I have used all the options mentioned here, plus Turo, which is like Airbnb for cars. They all have plusses but check to ensure you have the car you need a few days before you travel. I just checked with my Turo for next weekend in Ohio, and the host says the car was in an accident, so it's unavailable, but Turo did not inform me. So, I contacted Turo, and they helped me re-book a different car. Expect prices to be high in peak times like summer and holidays and destinations like Chicago. Consider cutting the number of days you're renting your car, so only for the days you need it, and use public transportation, Uber/Lyft, or walking on the other days if possible.   Today's destination: Florence, Italy Part 1 Art Galleries: Ticketed entries: https://www.destinationflorence.com/en/blog/401-tours-and-activities-for-solo-travellers-in-florence https://10best.usatoday.com/destinations/italy/florence/florence/restaurants/gusta-pizza/   http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/museum_of_bargello.html   Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

It is with great pleasure that I welcome Frank Nero to the podcast. Nero is an art historian, award-winning educator, and former director of Florida State University Florence. He specializes in on-site lectures, having taught and inspired thousands of students during his career, myself included. The first part of this interview departs from our typical mode of discussion, and looks at the living legacy of Renaissance art from the perspective of someone who teaches it outside of the classroom. Not only does Nero provide inside information on the structure of international education through the American university system, the good and the bad (also the ugly), but also tells hilarious stories and experiences that come with hauling students through crowded historical sites across Italy. ***Nero calls by my familiar name, Reed instead of Lawrence... or Reedy, because he's a funny guy. Instagram: italian_renaissance_podcast Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ItalianRenShopGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean Europe Episode 10 If you're planning a trip to Italy, chances are, you are seriously considering some time in Florence. And for good reason. The city center consists of an incredible Duomo di Firenze, the David statue by Michelangelo, Piazza Della Signoria and Italy's most visited museum, The Uffizi Gallery. Not into the museum vibes? Enjoy your relaxing near the Ponte Vecchio bridge, eat some Florentine steak, shop for an Italian leather souvenir or grab some grub at Mercato Centrale Firenze. We did all those things and more – including a Chianti wine tour in the hills of Tuscany. We made our way in a 4x4 truck to three wineries: Villa le Corti, Localita Rignana and Poggio Torselli. Watch our video of the trip, to see what it's like: https://youtu.be/iSKN0ulp6Cg.
