Delfina Verace

Chicken or Pasta? Delfina Verace

What does it mean to be Italian when the tourists aren't available to add their two cents? Chicken or Pasta is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of Italian culture and eccentricities from the perspective of Dr Delfina Verace, Italian expat and US physician. Join her as she looks back on her native country and city of Venice, from the unique viewpoint of somebody who is both insider and outsider, and can guide us through as well as explain the madness of Italian paradoxes whilst being just as baffled as the rest of us. Laugh and cry through the Italianities of everyday life including doctor's appointments, public school, housing, and even Covid-19 whilst getting a glimpse of Italy without its dream destination glamor. With references to the work of Beppe Severgnini, Donna Leon and John Berendt.
