Why should reporters (and doctors) have all the fun? Air One, which begins direct flights between Boston and Milan this month, is hosting a blogger-only reception in, of course, the North End: June 12, 6-9 p.m. at Lucca. Also on hand: free hors d'oeuvres and somebody to give you an Italian lesson.

Sign up on Facebook here or drop Carla Dabis a line: carla.dabis at edelman.com (obviously, change that to actually work). And, yes, bloggers only. Also, space is limited, so if this is the sort of thing you've been dying to attend, hurry.
