Rome, Lake Como, and the House We Sold When We Got Home

Bill Leighty was sixty-two years old the first time he left the United States. What happened in Rome — a scammer at the bus terminal, a sidewalk dinner, an extraordinary evening on the lawn of the Augustinianum at the threshold of the Vatican, and three magical days at Lake Como — didn’t just change how he travels. It changed where he lives. In this episode, Bill shares the trip that rewired everything. The Editorial Team at The Encore Project is proud to bring you this deeply personal story.
