Eva Ulian
Eva Ulian is known inside the Colony as Eva Ulian. If you’re not yet a member, join us now.
I write so as to tell the story of the events and people that travel alongside my time line, which means you… As Benedetto Croce said: "Our story is the story of our soul; and the story of the human soul is the story of the world.”
I try to amaze, surprise, delight…
Brought up in England, but now live near Venice, Italy.
In Britain I was a teacher; in Italy a historical researcher, church photographer and I paint.
I also worked for the U.S. Army in Vicenza, during the height of the Red Brigades hostility.
I write Fiction of Reality – which is not Reality Fiction.
