Briefly, the Mayor and the deputy mayor find themselves in the Mezzogiorno- that part of Italy that occupies the southern third of the peninsula. It is the rocky, barren, moutainous region that Rome and the rest seem to have forgotten. It was here that Carlo Levi, the famous writer, doctor, politician was exiled by Mussolini during WWII. His description of the people and the landscape became an indelible mark on the Italian people/culture. More of an indelible blot or scar that remains to this day as a reminder of what benign neglect can do to a people, region, or culture.
WE WILL BE EXPLORING THIS REGION FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND RECORDING OUR IMPRESSIONS FOR OUR FOLLOWERS.

Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
