Although I was born in the United States, my father was born in Italy, and was extraordinarily sensitive and perceptive man and creative man becoming one of the first independent toy designers for the Hasbro corporation. When his success was such that we could return to his homeland and spent a wonderful year in Italy and travelling around Europe on our way there, we landed first in London. I had already begun reading with great enjoyment, many English children children’s books, and even brought my most recent tooth for the English tooth fairy so that I would receive an English penny. Being nine years old with a seven-year-old and a four-year-old brother, we all quickly learned Italian in the immersion experience of a small, gentle and kindly private school in Rome. As we were all young, we had only half day of school and after lunch our parents were take us to one of the hundreds of exquisite churches and all of the beautiful Museums and parks. As a found myself saying to a friend yesterday, “ my brothers and I became tiny humanist that year, and poignantly it was the peak year of our childhood and really of the existence of our family, since our dad was rapidly developing early onset Parkinson’s disease. Our mother was much younger and brilliant, emotionally fragile, and fabulous at sharing the world of literature and poetry with us, becoming an accomplished poet and journalist herself. The Standards for the BBC and the way you have grown into television and a film presence always of such quality even creating an excellent and sensitively handled Program about the Amish population continuing to exist in these modern times, here where I currently live in south eastern Iowa and commute to Iowa City, UNESCO‘s world choice for America’s most literary city… this includes people from around the world who travel to the University of Iowa to join their MFA in creative writing. Thank you for continuing to expand, keep your dignity which supports that of every human being, when we all see each other in that light, and thank you for including the Irish, especially the Scottish journalists the wide range of music and I don’t know how I went so long without your app, which was one of the first things I put on my first iPhone, 10 years ago. You can all feel good in your hearts, which must be difficult sometimes, given the rampant tragedy and political catastrophes around the world. You really are helping to do whatever we can to create peace on Earth and in this season of ecumenical harmony, I think that oddly was all the dangers and intrigue around us, the holiday season of 2025, moving into the new year of 2026, may just be a banner turning point for the human race. May God bless us all and thank you for allowing an uptake of such a long reply! 🍃 Your Voices, The Diction, Intelligent Dignity and Range of Coverage Although I was born in the United States, my father was born in Italy, and was extraordinarily sensitive and perceptive man and creative man becoming one of the first independent toy designers for the Hasbro corporation.When his success was such that we could return to his homeland and spent a wonderful year in Italy and travelling around Europe on our way there, we landed first in London.

I’m an USA expat living in Colombia and I listen to the BBC. It is refreshing because of the wide spectrum of news coverage. I became tired of “news” broadcasts originating in the USA because of constant focus upon a certain “unnamed” person. Fortunately this “unnamed” person’s views do not represent all Americans; but unfortunately this “unnamed” person receives unnecessary attention. The USA is merely one country among many in the world. All countries are significant and no particular one is inherently “better” than another. Thank you BBC for providing news from all parts of the world. A Loyal Listener An “Expat’s” Perspective I’m an USA expat living in Colombia and I listen to the BBC.
