Tuscany/Umbria

Carla Ciccone wrote her first story – “The Dreamer” – when she was nine years old. Although the story has since been lost and she can no longer recall the specifics of the piece, she still believes in its message – to always have dreams and work towards attaining them.

Ciccone has been a freelance writer for five years and has written articles for numerous North American publications. She recently moved from Calgary, Canada to Rome, Italy where she continues to freelance and is working on a screenplay. Her current obsessions are threefold: gelato, pizza, and cappuccino.
