Lovely post, Italy is on my mind all of the time. I visit as often as I can. Lucky enough to live in Colorado, which is pretty special too!
Ciao Sandra. Colorado is awesome! Grazie mille for stopping by 🙂
Fun analysis Simona! I think the things the blogger wrote about family and smaller town traditions are why we all love your blog. Wishing a trip to Italy were in our plans ahead… blessings to you friend. xo
I love to see Italy through foreing people’s eyes! They all help me to appreciate Italy more than I already do! They also help me to see our week points – such as lines and toilets 😉
