I am a dual US-Italian citizen and own a house in a small Italian village, Valle San Giovanni, which is a suburb of city of Teramo in the Abruzzo region. I have constructed an English-language website for this town (http://vallesangiovanni.com). Am willing to provide information related to subjects of visiting the city and the province of Teramo.

I speak passable Italian, have lived in both Italy and the United States.
What do you like about this subject?
My roots in the province are deep as my nonni (grandparents) are from this area. I travel there often.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
Help others to know and experience this wonderful area.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject
