Caroline Cimino went to college in Italy and never left. The Omaha Westside graduate wakes up each morning in her studio apartment to the smell of the lemon grove outside her window and to the ringing bells from the church next door.
She cycles each day around some of the most beautiful scenery in the Mediterranean.

“My family went on vacation to Italy when I was in high school, and I fell in love with it,” she said. Italy is part of her heritage, so much so that she became a dual citizen when attending college in Florence, where she studied the Italian language.
