I know this is a small thing, but it’s nice and makes you feel better about the quality of life. Catholicism Catholicism is very Italian – the Pope is on the news in Italy almost daily. It was my impression before I came to Italy that Italians were deeply religious people. However,...
We met some lovely people on our tour from Wales, the UK, Scotland, Australia, Italy and Israel. Parking is a bit of an issue in Italy. Most of the time the parking machines don’t work and the parking buildings on Google maps don’t exist or are closed. The Italians just seem to...
The rush to secure the "Biden connection" would boost the tourist appeal of these so far unknown and remote spots. It’s also a matter of pride and it is fueling what Italians call "campanilismo," aka territorial rivalries even if nobody openly admits it. A narrow alley in Gesso, Sicily...

Under New Jersey Law, when riding a bike you are not allowed to ride with your feet off the pedals or with both hands removed from the handlebars. You also can't practice any tricks or fancy driving in a street and only one or two people (depending on the amount of seats) are ...
There are a lot of restaurants near Rodoflor and a lot of (mostly young) people in the city speak English. On our first days there was a pizza festival which was very nice. There are not that much tourist so we spend our holiday between a lot of Italians, something that we like. ...
