What people are saying about STUDENTESSA MATTA:

Susan Van Allen: Golden Days in Italy Blog & author of “100 Places in Italy Every Woman Should Go” I’m so grateful to have met so many fellow Italofiles through the Blogosphere. One of the most fascinating is Melissa Muldoon. Many know her as La Studentessa Matta = The Crazy Student, who writes a wonderful blog, in Italian, featuring her funny and passionate reportings about Italian current events and culture, including such goodies as a colorful recent post about La Festa della Bruna in Matera. It was great to finally meet Melissa in person last month when we joined in with Le Donne d’Italia in San Francisco for a Passport to Italy event at the Museo Italo Americano. She’s as charming in person as she appears in her blog and on her Facebook page

Dianne Hales: Author of “La Bella Lingua” & “Mona Lisa: A Life Discovered”:  Brava, Melissa, una gemella anima (a kindred spirit)! 

Madeline Clarke Jhawar at Italy Beyond the Obvious writes (view comment on Linkedin): Melissa truly has a passion for Italy and the Italian language, and as a fellow blogger and Italophile, I have recommended her blog to many of my clients as a great place for them to practice Italian before departure as well as discover new ways to learn the language, keep on top of news and cultural events in the country and even read about art history. As someone who plans trips to Italy, I can also vouch for the tours she leads: well planned, well balanced, and well priced!
