John C. McLucas, A Baltimorean by adoption, grew up in Pennsylvania, Washington, and Paris. He was educated in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rome, and New York. Trained as an opera singer, he is also a long-time AIDS and LGBTQ activist, an elder in a progressive Presbyterian church, and a committed Italophile. He has close ties of friendship in Rome, Florence, Siena, Campania, and the Veneto. He is a professor emeritus of Italian and Latin (and in a pinch, French) at Towson University, where he taught for 36 years. For 20 years, he also taught Italian diction and repertoire to voice students at Peabody Conservatory. His favorite Italian authors are Ariosto and Calvino; his favorite English language novelist is Henry James. The sound track of his life is dominated by Mozart.
