Debbie Mancuso’s inspiring journey through Italy’s hidden gems, historic cities, and emotional reunions proves that adventure has no age limit.

Brooklyn, New York State, United States, 12th Jun 2025 – Author Debbie Mancuso is excited to announce the release of My Love Affair With Italy: Memoir of a single woman’s travels to Italy spanning 45 years from a teenager to retirement, a fascinating travel memoir that takes readers on a heartfelt journey through Italy, spanning decades of adventure, self-discovery, and romance.

This inspiring travel memoir follows Debbie’s lifelong connection with Italy, starting from her first visit as a 17-year-old on a student tour. Over the next 45 years, she returns to Italy 11 more times—often traveling solo, sometimes with family and friends—exploring the country’s breathtaking landscapes, hidden gems, and rich culture. From the bustling streets of Rome to the rolling vineyards of Tuscany, and even a 2,500-year-old village where donkeys are the only transport, Debbie’s experiences capture the essence of what makes Italy so special.

In My Love Affair With Italy, readers will discover:

• Unforgettable destinations like Rome, Capri, Sicily, and the Amalfi Coast
• Unique stays in farmhouses, vineyards, medieval villages, and monasteries
• Life-changing moments, including horseback riding 100 miles through Tuscany
• Emotional reunions, unexpected friendships, and a romance that spans decades
• Hidden treasures of Italy, such as the sacred Scala Sancta and the mysterious Aventine Keyhole
   

Unlike traditional travel books, this travel memoir is not just about the places, it’s about the people, emotions, and life lessons along the way. With humor, honesty, and deep affection for her Italian heritage, Debbie shares the joys and challenges of her travels, proving that adventure has no age limit.

Beyond her travels, Debbie’s story is also one of resilience and personal growth. Through the years, she faced family struggles, caregiving responsibilities, and moments of loss, yet Italy remained her place of solace and renewal. Her deep-rooted connection to the country led to incredible experiences, including an unexpected reunion with long-lost family members—a moment 100 years in the making.
