I launched a Substack, it’s called “Tuffo: Italy Explained“. Every other week, I dive into the latest news and stories to go under the surface of what’s happening in Italy. No stereotypes about la dolce vita, but an honest look at the currents and events shaping one of the most mythologised countries on Earth, one that I and 60 million other people call home.
A tuffo is a “dive” in Italian. The newsletter is meant as an anchor as I navigate the opaque waters of living as a returnee — in which every day feels like a tuffo into the chaos that is Italy — and a lifeline to make sense of the deluge of news, analysis, opinions about Italy that is constantly washing up on the shores of our attention.
