ITALY MAGAZINE ROUND-UP - 20

Here is my pick of last week's Italy Magazine articles:

Sicily and Sardinia are popular tourist destinations these days but there is a smaller, quieter island which also has a lot to offer.  Elba is a paradise in many ways and you can find some things to do there in this article.

Our blog of the week was My Paesano, administered by Capri, an Italian American who is passionate about all things Italian.  You'll find lots of travel advice and information on My Paesano too.

Now, ladies, are you looking for a new bra?  This one will set you back a mere $2 million.  Or, if you'd rather spend your money on iPhone apps, this one is for you if you happen to have a church to run!  Meanwhile, a regional council official in Abruzzo has come up with a unique solution to the area's prostitution problem and the Vatican has claimed those two renegades, Bart and Homer Simpson, as its own.

For my Patti Chiari column, I wrote about the elderly in Sicily.  Are the elderly treated well and respected where you are?

Happy reading.
