about
Ciao and welcome to Bleeding Espresso!
I’m Michelle Fabio, and I’ll be your server.
I’m a 31-year-old American who moved to my ancestors’ hilltop village in Calabria (the toe of Italy’s boot) in 2003 because I wanted to, which you can read more about here.
I promptly fell in love (with P–read how we met here) and adopted two of the cutest, sweetest dogs in the world (Luna and Stella–read all about them here).
I am a freelance writer who has also been known to teach English and translate (Italian to English) from time to time. My writing has appeared in print in The Legal Intelligencer, Create, Transitions Abroad, International Living and Women’s Independent Press, as well as online at LegalZoom.com, LifeScript.com and CheapStingyBargains.com. You can also visit me at TomatoCasual.com where I blog about tomatoes or at Italian Notebook where I am a regular contributor.
I am also a non-practicing attorney, amateur chef and baker, and proud auntie.
For those of you who have been around for a while, you may be wondering where Sognatrice is. She’s still here inside of me–I’ll never stop dreaming–but I’ve retired the nickname. I started out with the idea of blogging anonymously but times have changed and now I’m Michelle again.
But you can still call me Sognatrice if it makes you happy.
