Join us for a vibrant and heartfelt conversation with Cherrye Moore—writer, art lover, and the self-proclaimed “Queen of the Cilento.” In this lively episode, we dive into family dynamics, the joys and trials of parenting teenagers, and the cultural adjustments that come with raising a child in Southern Italy. As a docent at the Met, Cherrye brings her passion for art into the mix, offering captivating insights into the unicorn tapestries and the enduring beauty of Calabria.

We explore her pioneering role in the early 2000s blogging community, her journey from Disneyland Paris to motherhood in Calabria, and how blogs became lifelines for American women embracing Italian life. Along the way, Cherrye shares humorous and touching moments from her own experience, revealing the nuances of life between cultures.

The discussion also touches on the evolving world of travel in Italy, the rich (and often complicated) cultural tapestry of the South, and the shadow of the ’Ndrangheta. Cherrye offers an honest look at the charm and challenges of life in Calabria, reminding us of the power of storytelling, community, and the enduring value of cultural connection.
