I’m happy to announce that Citarella Gothic Regular is available for download at MyFonts.com. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and encouragement since I released Citarella Gothic Ultralight back in January. Your support (and purchases) has really been a tremendous help in pushing this project forward. Thank you!

Lego Masters
Marco Sodano, Art Director of Geometry Global in Milano Italy, created this unique campaign for Lego: All children are authentic artists with Lego.
Making Limoncello
In the past, I’d had a few more DIY photologs (Making Linguini, Making a Server, Making a Closet, Making a Patio, Making a Genovese) and thought it was about time that I put a new one online.

So, naturally, I thought it’d be fun to make my own. Read more
Travel Map
As I wait in jittery, excited anticipation of my big trip back to the old country to see the rustic villa where my grandfather was born in 1909, I have been asking a number of friends about their recommended off-the-beaten-path must-dos in Italy.
I was initially quite proud of this until I visited some of the travel maps of friends, which look like glitteringly decadent Christmas trees. My lowly map, if you notice, has no dots west of the Mississippi—which will change for Todd’s wedding this July—and only sparse locations in Eastern Europe. I’ve been to less than half of the world’s continents and have predominantly traded in dollars, pounds and euros (and pre-euro currencies). And while I’m struggling to become less sedentary, I’m merely posting this pitiful map to show to the friends who’ve asked about my previous travel experiences.
That said, if you find yourself in any of the following locations this June, let’s get a Prosecco and Peroni:
– Rome
– Naples
– Siena
– Florence
– Chianti
– Anywhere in Tuscany
– Anywhere on the Amalfi Coast
– Anywhere on the Ligurian Sea
And, if you’ve been there before, let me know of some things you recommend!
