- For MARK TEDESCO -

- "There's NO Place Like {R}ome -

BY DANNY McCARTHY

We just may all be used-to "Home, Sweet Home." ~ With a gentleman named Mark Tedesco - it was so-beneficial to actually become aware that there can be a completely different interpretation of a place called home. - Mark Tedesco copyrighted his book in 2020 detailing history of the city of Rome. He resided there numerous times. His book takes-us-back to literal-historical-times as well as Mark's experiences being "in-the-neighborhood" of Rome so often.

I am here "write"-now having been blessed to learn that California resident MARK TEDESCO copyrighted his book titled "She Seduced Me: A Love Affair with Rome" in 2020. In 1990, I was Fagin in OLIVER! at the Mattituck North Fork Community Theatre. One of the musical numbers I was so-honored to belt-out as Fagin was "Reviewing the Situation." I will "go-write-on-ahead" & give my reactions/interpretations to that MARK TEDESCO book.

To be fair folks - I am not going to take quotes from his book. I will present to you interpretations of MARK TEDESCO's book with my own-accepted-unique-style of writing. Being that Mark’s book shares so much information regarding the city of Rome – I myself won’t make this my “write”-up too complex.

I was able to immediately { - YES folks - } come-up with a true word saluting Mark -&-Mark's APPreciated classy use with words. ~ Remember - His book is about Rome. ~ What's my word. - ?- You should be able to decide for yourself in this sentence: I'm ALL Forum. -

Mark also does seem to have the same theory as me that “days-in-our-past” should be acknowledged.

Nero is just one historical mention in Mark’s book. Mark expressed how Nero was buried beneath where a tree was located. I then got to immediately equate 1700s Captain William Kidd as there is a tree by his treasure burying site.”

I found in Mark’s book that ~ honestly ~ he had delved into research – YES – but folks – Mark generates his personal experiences he himself had in Rome – that are “write”-within his book. ~ Mark feels “write”-at-{R}ome in the city of Rome as often as he is there and we as readers get to go “write”-on-along with him.

The book is published in the UK and is currently available in the US through Book Depository and on Amazon. Bookdepository: https://www.bookdepository.com/She-Seduced-Me-Mark-Tedesco-Andrea-Bailey/9781913680046
