Susan Van Allen made us all want to go to Italy! And there were a lot of us to entice--women poured into our store for her presentation, which was comprehensive, well-informed, and conveyed with such genuine love for her topic that she had over one hundred women ready to jet off to Rome. We'd welcome Susan back to Book Revue in a heartbeat (and next time order twice as many books!)--Julianne Wernersbach, Publicist, Book Revue, Huntington, New York
 
Susan Van Allen's entertaining slide show was perfect for our school library fundraiser. We all had a wonderful evening--enjoying delicious Italian food and wine, reminiscing about past travels, and getting inspired for our next trip.--Myrtle Keefe, Library Aide, Wonderland Avenue Elementary,
Los Angeles

A brilliant, entertaining, and informative presentation. We all absolutely loved it--From me (who has lived in Rome most of my life), to the students who are here for their first time, and many other women in between. --Joyce Elizabeth Acon, American Women's Association of Rome, Rome
