Welcome to my page. I live in Veneto region, Italy north-east. Arts and entertainment are my passion and I especially love tourism, culture, movies, philately & postal history, photography.
Learn italian! In Italy, with a local italian, and for free.
I can help with whatever you need regarding my area, as public transportation, language, accomodation, lowest cost, etc.
Hospitality exchange possible.

Did you know..? Bloggers love to blog. I love it, of course I do. But, as much as I love blogging just "for the sake of it", what I really love is helping people.
Thanks for consider my links (here above), with free services, especially if you love art, culture, and tourism.
Some fantastically romantic places, here in my area. Happy to offer a free guided tour in my city Monselice, just south of Padua.
Thanks for reading and be sure to take advantage of my free service. Enjoy your day, and I hope to hear from you. New friends are welcome.

Un appello ai residenti in Italia: grazie per considerare il mio blog con l'offerta di libri nuovi (in cambio di francobolli timbrati).

Can you help..?
Desperately seeking used postage stamps..!
Wanted used stamps for philately promotion to kids (stamp collecting offers a world of interest). All kinds, in duplicates, on paper, are welcome.
This is a permanent appeal, so stamps can be sent at any time of the year. Your support to my project is essential, so when you receive a letter, or postcard, or package, please save the stamps on paper. Thanks. Ask my complete gift-offer.

Happy to help with italian language.
