In this episode, Cassandra and Laura discuss simple ways to stay connected and immerse yourself in the Italian culture. Whether you are traveling Italy or dreaming from afar there is always a way to connect on a personal and more meaningful level.

The hosts share some of the people, cities and sites that have made them feel one with the country. And how well-known authors Frances Mayes, Ondine Cohane and Nicky Pellegrino; New York City pizzaioli, and even those in the world of music such as Andrea Bocelli and Davide Napoleone have inspired them to embrace the Italian culture in a different way than before.

You do not have to live in the country or be of Italian heritage to be one with Italy. It is only about creating a connection that will stay with you for a lifetime.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
