ABOUT ME

International lawyer and freelance writer, Deirdre Pirro  recently published  a book called ‘Italian Sketches: The Faces of Modern Italy’ and is the author of a regular column in The Florentine, the bi-monthly English-language paper in Florence, Italy (www.theflorentine.net) where she has lived in the shadow of the Basilica of Santa Croce for more than twenty years. Although still trying to fathom out some of the local customs and Italian politics, she must have picked up  something during all this time and wants to share a bit of what she has learnt.

International lawyer and freelance writer, Deirdre Pirro recently published a book called 'Italian Sketches: The Faces of Modern Italy' and is the author of a regular column in The Florentine, the bi-monthly English-language paper in Florence, Italy (www.theflorentine.net) where she has lived in the shadow of the Basilica of Santa Croce for more than twenty years. Still trying to fathom out some of the local customs and Italian politics, she compensates by overeating the country's delicious food and drinking too much of its unique wines. But, on the theory that she must have picked up something during all this time, she wants to share a bit of what she has learnt and, maybe, even find a few new answers along the way.
