About

Michelle Fabio, an American attorney-turned-freelance writer, moved to her ancestors’ medieval hilltop village of Badolato in Calabria (the toe of Italy’s boot) in 2003.

A year and a half later, she fell in love with Paolo (known on the blog as P) and later adopted two of the cutest, sweetest dogs in the world (Luna and Stella) and goat Pasqualina, who gave birth to Pinta in March 2010; the brood has also included hens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, and guinea pigs at various times. Michelle enjoys the simplicity of life in the south of Italy but also really, really loves her iPod and various Apple products.

She is currently the Guide to Law School for About.com (a New York Times company), official blogger for LegalZoom.com, and does a weekly podcast with fellow bloggers Sara Rosso and Jessica Spiegel at Eye on Italy.

Michelle’s professional writing site, including published clips, can be found at MichelleFabio.com, and her site about raising goats is GoatBerries.com.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, or are interested in hiring Michelle for a writing project, please do not hesitate to contact her.
