My dear friend Carol Malzone, a dedicated Italofile, author, and founder of Flavors of Rome, was singing the praises of her new Italian teacher, Sandra Sicolo. Sandra grew up in Bitonto-Bari, Puglia, moved to the USA in 1989 with her husband and two children, and immediately began teaching Italian and doing translation work.
The family now lives in Boca Raton, Florida, where Sandra has founded a popular cultural organization: All Italian Things, Inc., that promotes and preserves Italian culture, through entertaining events, cooking and language classes, AND group trips to Puglia that are designed and led by Sandra.
I’m so grateful she has joined in to share her advice for a Golden Day in La Baia dei Mergoli…
My favorite place in Puglia is the Gargano province specifically, La Baia dei Mergoli also known as Baia delle Zagare. This place is enchanting, with crystal blue waters and rock formations rising from the sea–scenery that rivals the Amalfi Coast!
