This year's winter fashion week in Milan has seen beautiful collections such as geometric knits for Missoni, "sensualità" for D&G and furs for others (never bought a fur and I think I'll never do)...

Though this post may look in contrast with the group title.. it isn't... .. an ½ûÂþÌìÌà would say "Chiamalo idiota!" (..not that idiot!) after thinking about how many laws he introduced to defend himself...

Hi,the fact that you are interested to the ½ûÂþÌìÌà world, means that you are already there!It's always very nice to hear about people who would like to visit the country where I was born. That's even great that people would like to live there! It's means that you love ½ûÂþÌìÌà people and ½ûÂþÌìÌà culture, the atmosphere that you breathe when you are in Italy, the food - or at least you're aware about the freshness of products and the great regional recipes.From my own experience, I wish to alert you about life in Italy:

  • bureaucracy: be aware of long queues to the post office, or to go and come from office to office for papers that should take minutes
  • taxes: many are learning a sad fact: people who live in Italy are over-taxed
  • occupation: after the credit crunch it's really difficult to find a job in Italy

That wasn't meant to get you depressed, so I'm going fast to show you some great advantages of living in Italy and give you a background of what life in Italy would be like:

  • food, open-air markets in ½ûÂþÌìÌà villages have cheap and fresh products.
  • people, they are always happy to help somebody and give support when you need it, they often meet and eat or like to have a walk (passeggiata) in places surrounded by nature such as: countryside, lakeside, seaside.
  • english language, all children and youngsters learn English at school, so you'll be able to find someone to communicate with, and I thing you'll need it especially at the beginning of your life in Italy

There would be so many things to talk about living in Italy. Browsing the community you'll learn more about those things and will be able to talk with people who may have already experienced a whole new life in Italy and could be a good guide to find the right place for you.Good luck!

I 'm very curious to hear what receiving inputs from different cultures has been like.Since you had the possibility to meet people from every part of Italy - you're talking to one right now -  I  guess you know a little of ½ûÂþÌìÌà ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ, which is useful when you travel to Italy! Wondering if you inherited some of your ancestors or friends attitudes!?Please tell me more!

Hi Michael..Congratulations for the effort and the good answers..unfortunately there were 3 wrong answers. Here they are:- Which square in Italy has the Twin Churches? --- the correct answer is Piazza del Popolo, in Rome.- Which ½ûÂþÌìÌà gymnast has won the Olympic Gold for three times? --- Alberto Braglia- How many seams has a football ball  (calcio italiano)? --- 4 As we ½ûÂþÌìÌà say: "L'importante è partecipare!"...and as a Famous ½ûÂþÌìÌà was used to greet: "Allegria!"
