Tickets were only 25 Euro, so my friends and I went and had an absolutely fantastic time.

DID YOU KNOW? Kobe Bryant spent much time growing up in Italy because his father played professional basketball here for eight years. Kobe has said there’s a good chance he’ll play for an Italian pro league in the future. Our pasta-making instructor was from Bologna, Italy, and she informed us that tagliatelle is traditional pasta from the town. Though the shape looks like fettuccine, it is a separate, distinct type of pasta.
LACIE GOFF / FOR THE SOUTHERN
NBA player Kobe Bryant caused quite a stir at the Nike store in Rome, where he made an appearance.
GOFF: Feeling at home in Rome FROM PAGE 2 I felt like a true wine connoisseur, swirling the wine in my glass and looking at the “legs” of the wine. The classes are every other week, and I can’t wait to participate in the next one. Pasta-making class was phenomenal. My roommate and I felt it was a must to sign up, and it was such a great experience. I wasn’t sure how difficult it would be to make our own pasta from scratch, but it actually isn’t nearly as hard as you might think. Our teacher was an expert pasta maker, and she took us step by step, helping us along the way. We ended up with tagliatelle pasta, which we
cooked and ate for dinner that night, and it was delicious. I cannot wait to make more homemade pasta. And, now that we’re learning more about wine, maybe I could now actually pair the pasta with a wine that will match. Buon appetite e a presto! Ciao! LACIE GOFF is the daughter
of Janice Gualdoni and the granddaughter of Louie and Beauella Gualdoni, all of Herrin. Lacie is a junior at California Lutheran University in Los Angeles, majoring in communication and journalism. She is spending this semester in Rome, studying Italian, history and art history.

At the end of the day, they have a place to come home to and food is on the table.” Moore is country to the core. His grandfather packed him into a deer stand before his first birthday. He started singing at 3 and was a constant featured performer in church. He won his first talented contest when he was 8. His early influences included Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, plus the pure traditional sound of Vern Gosdin and John Anderson. “I grew up on old-school country,” he says. Attending college on a baseball scholarship, he immediately knew he made a bad decision. After just two weeks, he quit school and moved to Nashville in 2002. He was just 18. In Music City, he quickly met rising-star producer Jeremy Stover, who introduced him to music executive Scott Borchetta, who told him to remain
patient and he would give him a record deal. While he waited, Moore honed his skills as a songwriter. The process took six years, but Borchetta eventually signed Moore to the Big Machine Label Group, where he joined Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Martina McBride. Moore’s debut single in 2008, “Back That Thing Up,” peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard singles chart. His follow-up, “Small Town USA,” soared to No. 1. He was the only new country artist in 2009 to reach the top of the charts. Billboard Magazine named the fiery singer New Artist of the Year in 2009. The momentum carried over to the next year. Moore was named Breakthrough Artist for 2010 by Music Row magazine. Moore released his second album, “Outlaws Like Me,” on June 21. It contained his biggest hit to date, “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away.” VINCE HOFFARD can be

THEATER Their latest release, last year’s Live Vol. 3, showcases the tenacity and energy that radiates throughout their concerts. One of the album’s most passionate crowd reactions comes during their rendition of “Murder in the City,” especially following the lyrics: “Always remember, there is nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name.” The Avetts have developed their songwriting skills over the years, and their messages have remained consistently creative. It is a combination of powerful, polished lyrics and the controlled chaos of its live shows that sets The Avett Brothers apart. “Stage presence is obviously very important to us and it’s something that just comes with believing in what you’re presenting,” Avett said. “The best shows we encounter from our perspective are the ones that have great variety.”
