I would have liked to hear how and where she met the Italian, she married. I assume he is, of course, Jewish, although, his Italian name does not reflect that. Hearing her story, there is no doubt, he would be as devoted to Chabad, as she is.
You can watch how they met here:

I love this. I converted at 26 after first becoming interested in Judaism when a Holocaust survivor came to my middle school class to tell her story. I'm a Dominican-American Jewish convert. Loved watching this story.
I remember reading your blog, say, about 15 years ago.
Your name seemed familiar and then you mentioned your background and it clicked.
You are a very good writer and I hope all is well with you and your family.
Thank you for that. I am no longer writing unfortunately but I still check out Chabad.org to read the work of others. :) All is well!
I see that you were active as recently as two years ago, I think I followed you way back around 2008-2012 or so, that time period. If you ever feel ready to write again, I look forward to reading more, and, if you've said everything you wanted to say, that's cool too. Kol tuv!
Wonderful story.
I visited the Esther and the Kaifeng Jewish Museum in Kaifeng, China, which has a very long history of Chinese Jews. Most of them have left and made Aliyah in Israel already, but she maintained the Museum there for tourists. Recently, she has had to close it to the public due to government intrusion and interrogation. I love to hear about Chinese Jews. They have a very long history!
My journey has been, ummm, circuitous...but I finally converted at age 81. Wahoo!!
Mazel tov from a fellow convert!
Wow! That is very inspiring to hear! Welcome to the Jewish peolple!
Chana,
Thank you for bringing Elisheva back. I so enjoyed her.
