I'm a proud bergamasco - from the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy, (Northern Italy) which is sadly famous because it was the epicenter of the March 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy. More precisely, I grew up on the shore of the wonderful Lake Iseo (NOT to be confused with that other lake...). A beautiful place to visit.

• Rethinking Sleep (NYT)

• History of Tiramisu'
