I live in Italy. I was born in Italy. Educated in Italy. I ended up hoping my children will be able to start a life somewhere else. And I am not at all happy about this. In these pages I will try to make you see what I “don’t like” about Italy.
desperate but not serious: it's Italy, believe it or not
is Italy so beautiful for tourists because they have a home somewhere else?
Hi, nice to meet you !
I live in California, USA. I grew up in Minnesota. But when I turned 30 I began to house-sit/cat-sit for a professor in Rome (for 5 years every Augusto and Natale). I am not a romantic about Italy, I think. I love the good, the bad, the mundane, and the interesting. Somehow, however – perhaps because of the wonderful and complex people, architecture and history – Italy has a piece of my heart.
I read a few of your posts and they brought me back to Rome again!
Any country has it’s various quirks, sins and blessings…and funny stories. Don’t you think?
Mary, welcome back to Italy… You just wrote it:
It’s hard to live your everyday life in a museum! I spent sometime in Sothern California and there are a few places where I tought I coul try live in: Huntington Beach, Palos Verde, Laguna Beach… And where am I? Stuck in the traffic, in acity of 3M people that doesn’t have a decent public transoport, where the street in the center were designed for the 15th century cariages… but I can have dinner every night by the Colosseum…
Come back soon
Ciao
