The story behind the stories: It began in Rome, at a small café over a morning cappuccino. Watching a couple on a date at the next table, their unscripted Italian conversation sparked the idea for this collection — real moments of love and connection, set across some of my favorite cities in Italy and beyond, so you absorb the language the way you'd pick it up by actually being there.
