For us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery, back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness. — D.H. Lawrence
We get asked that a lot — both stateside and even in Sulmona, from some long-time residents. Why Sulmona? I’m hoping this little video will help explain.
Tim and I are just back from two weeks in Abruzzo, getting the apartment ready for renters, visiting with our Italian family, learning more about the city and surrounding areas, and making new friends.
One such friend is Marco Malvestuto. Marco works for Onda TV, the local station in Sulmona. We had agreed to meet him while we were there to discuss a new project. But he’s a clever one . . . when we arrived at the designated spot at the designated time, there was a camera set up and a microphone on the table and an interview about to begin. With us.
Welcome to the first episode of Tales from Sulmona! Yes, this is an interview with Tim and Linda Jenkins and it goes on for about 25 minutes. Don’t worry, it’s in English. Go grab a caffe or a digestivo and sit back for a while and venture into the magical world of Sulmona in south-central Italy. It’s a whole lot more than confetti!
Grazie a Marco!
Buon viaggio!
