Meet Ciccio

This blog was created to document Ciccio's transition from Italy to Columbus, Ohio. Ciccio is my loud, quick-tempered, passion-filled, fun-loving, straight-from-the-boat, Italian husband. We met in NYC while he was working as a Pizza Chef and I was waitressing to supplement my journalism career. Ciccio was recruited from Trani, Italy to bring his pizza passion to New Yorkers. Fast forward three years and we're married residents of Central Ohio. Ciccio picked up English fairly well while in Manhattan, but NYC culture hardly represents the rest of America.

We started this blog as part entertainment/ part coping method. Our joke is that Ciccio is my first child because everyday brings endless questions like "what is Worcestershire sauce?" Or "what do you mean we have to pay taxes?" Like rearing a child, everyday brings a NEW set of challenges and joys! It's not easy being an foreigner in America, so we hope to bring laughter to those that have experienced it and a new appreciation for those who have not.

Addio,

Monica

P.S- Half of the posts will be written by Ciccio so please forgive any typos of terseness!
