Hello everyone,
I hope youโre all doing well and enjoying a great hosting season!
Today, I have some great news to share with youโฆ ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ A new Community Manager is joining our team for the English and French-speaking Community Center! I wanted to give you the opportunity to get to know @Elisa , who will be helping me and @Paula manage this forum during the PST time zones! I hope youโll join me in giving her a warm welcome to our lovely Community Center! ๐
@Elisa , Iโll let you introduce yourself below! ๐
Have a great day, everyone,
Bhumika
Iโm happy to join this forum as your new Community Manager. I want to start by thanking @Bhumika for the lovely introduction.
Allow me to introduce myselfโa lover of all things unique and timeless.
My journey: As an Italian, I grew up on cobblestone streets. Iโve wandered through the bustling markets of Rome and sipped espresso in hidden Turin squares. But my adventures didnโt stop there!
Bonjour, Paris: Ah, Parisโthe City of Light! Iโve strolled along the Seine.
French, with its lyrical elegance has shaped who I am and continues to inspire me every day.
From maple leaves to Toronto city: Canada welcomed me with open arms. From the Rockies to the Great Lakes, and its gems in Toronto. Iโve marveled at its vastness.
Beauty and gastronomy: My passions? Beautyโwhether itโs a Renaissance fresco or a blooming gardenโand the art of savoring good food.
Old movies: Black-and-white classics hold a special place in my heart. Theyโre like old friends, comforting and familiarโthey evoke nostalgia and timeless charm that we seem to be losing in today's fast-paced world.
Old manners, new connections: As your Community Manager, I would love to revive the old while embracing the new. Letโs share stories and create memories together.
I look forward to knowing you and creating something amazing together!
Feel free to reach out to me anytime with your thoughts and ideas. ๐
Kind regards

Welcome Aboard, and thanks for sharing these terrific loves and joys! I love them all too.
Best wishes

Thank you @Kitty-and-Creek0, I am happy you like. ๐
Have you had a chance to visit any of those places?
-----
@Elisa I've rambled through Tuscany and a bit of Liguria. Lived in Little Italy in Oakland, CA. My paternal family is Canadian!
@Kitty-and-Creek0 Unbelievable!
Tuscany is my favorite region in Italy. ๐
What did you visit?
-----
Hi Elisa -
Cinqueterra and Assisi were my favorite spots on that trip, we covered a lot of territory in 3 weeks, and ate well!
Best wishes
Kitty
Those places are magical. ๐
Did you taste pasta with pesto in Liguria?
Warm regards ๐ป,

Ciao @Andrea6232
thank you! ๐
I miss Italy, and I need to visit Venice again. Did you grow up there?
-----
@Elisa I love Venice! For me it is the most beautiful city in the world!
I grow up in Madrid, studied in Rome and lived in Milan before settling in Bergamo where I live ๐
Andrea
That's really amazing! ๐ @Andrea6232
Have you visited the Moroni Palace in Bergamo? It is beautiful. I had the chance to see the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition there a long time ago.
-----
Yes @Elisa , I have visited Palazzo Moroni several times, one of the most beautiful things is its garden! It seems unreal to find such a beautiful and large garden in Cittร Alta!
@Andrea6232 Wonderful! I don't know about this garden, I need to come back. It will also be an opportunity to try Da Vittorio's restaurant. ๐
Have you ever been there?
-----
Ciao @Elisa , I've been to Da Vittorio a few years ago, when it was still in Bergamo, now it has been moved to Brusaporto and has received the Three Michelin Stars, so it has become a bit too expensive ๐
