I had the great privilege in my life to meet with giants of the Opera's word and they grace me with prefaces for many of the books that I wrote or published.
Maestro Riccardo Muti (for the preface of Cortez), Maestro Alberto Zedda (for the preface of the Guglielmo Tell and Maestra Luciana Serra for the preface of Il Flauto Magico (The Magic Flute) are some of the ones I will cherish the most.
A surreal phone call with Diana De Curtis and after that a meeting with her and her lovely mother, Liliana, is what has changed my life forever as I had the chance to do what many publishers had tried and no one accomplished before: publish the children edition of 'A Livella, the poem of Neapolitan genius, Toto'.
In my house in Northern Baltimore, I am writing now my first full opera, finishing up my book about Gianni Toso, and preparing for the release of the first Be a Chef for a Day Cooking book.
