Ciao Amalfi

WRITING · April 30, 2010

Spreading the Love…

Thanks to the new Travel Inspirations Series here on Ciao Amalfi, I’ve had some of my favorite writers around the blogosphere stopping by and sharing some of the places around the world (and here in Italy, too!) that have inspired them. Keep watching in the coming weeks for some great new additions to that series.

But some of you may have noticed my own posts have been a bit sparse this past month. No, no, I haven’t forgotten you, my dear readers! I’m just wrapping up what has turned into my busiest month yet with the travel writing. (All very good news, since that keeps me going here on Ciao Amalfi, too!) I have also been sharing my love of the Amalfi Coast with several guest posts over the past month. If you follow these blogs (and you should!), many of you may have already caught them there. But for those of you who missed them, here’s just a bit of what I’ve been up to this April:

 

 

 

Experiencing Italy: Windows on the Amalfi Coast over at Cherrye’s blog My Bella Vita.

 

 

 

Sunday Soul: Alone in Magical Amalfi, Italy over at Lisa’s blog Wanderlust Women’s Travel Dreams.

 

 

 

 

Top 5 Reasons to Head South to Campania at Danielle’s website When in Rome Tours.

 

 

 

 

 

Why Laura Travels over at Mike’s blog Fevered Mutterings.

 

 

 

And, for those of you who enjoyed the photos from my first trip to Paris, be sure to check out this article:

    There is nothing I love more than Italy. I have travelled there many many times, to many different locations. If you look back at my blog posts you will see a recent one on the Amalfi Coast. I would love to write a little story for you. xx's

What a moving experience yesterday morning to see What a moving experience yesterday morning to see the Olympic torch in Amalfi. 🔥 One of the many many reasons I love living right in the center of Amalfi is that in one minute I can be in the middle of making pasta with artichokes and the next watching a historic moment happen. I never take that for granted! @milanocortina2026 @olympics

Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustra Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustrationbyjonathan of Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and her tiny 12-sided writing table. It looks exactly like the beautiful spring day when I was there in April this year. Such a beautiful memory! I think this will have to stay out all year.
Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the de Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the definite highlights of my year was visiting @janeaustenshouse in Chawton on a beautiful spring day. I still think of her tiny writing table and what it felt like to stand there and take it all in. I’ve enjoyed the book “A Jane Austen Year” throughout the year - pulling it off the shelf at the start of each month. While at Chawton, I picked up the embroidery kit by @abigailrosecreative made to celebrate the 250th celebration. I’ve been wanting to learn to do embroidery for years, so this was the perfect souvenir from Jane Austen’s House. Still a work in progress, but I’m nearly there! 🧵🪡
I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which is how I felt seeing “Partenope - Musica per la sirena di Napoli” at the @teatrosancarlo yesterday. This opera in one act was written by the great Ennio Morricone 30 years ago, and it was finally performed for the first time this weekend. Just in time for the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Naples. Mary Oliver wrote: “A town cannot live on dreams.” I was thinking about that line yesterday and wondering if maybe a town could live on mythology. 2,500 years later, Naples might just be proof that it can.

As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way throug As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way through some of the books sitting unfinished on my bedside table. I usually finish a book once started, but occasionally I come across one that is so good I can’t let myself rush through it all at once. I want to hang on to that first read as long as I can, slowly savoring the way it changes the geography of my mind.

This autumn that has been “Upstream” - a selection of essays by Mary Oliver. If “attention is the beginning of devotion,” as Oliver writes in the first essay in the book, I am deeply devoted to her writing. Few writers capture my attention and hold it the way she does. This will be a book I know will return to again and again. And, even though I’ve finished, it might be a long time before it leaves my bedside table. I’ll just leave you with a couple of Oliver’s magical lines:

“You must not ever stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
