When I visit Italy, I like to observe how other people see the place where I was born and their way to visit it.
These are pictures of people that I captured while they were taking photographs or simply enjoying a place.

 yes, again "mamma". Yesterday I watched a TV show and was delighted by Bocelli's voice singing a twenties italian song: "Mamma son tanto felice"My grandmother still tells me about her coming back from work and singing this wonderful song with her

 "Fatti mandare dalla mamma" by Gianni Morandi (1944 - ). He achieved a national stardom with this song in 1962. He won a number of ½ûÂþÌìÌà popular song festivals such as Canzonissima in 1969 and Festival di Sanremo in 1987.

I believe that people who fell in love with Italy, fell in love also with its culture. ½ûÂþÌìÌà songs are part of me - as an ½ûÂþÌìÌà - and part of ½ûÂþÌìÌà culture.

Ciao a tutti, I really enjoy discussing about languages and the challenges/fun people have with the ½ûÂþÌìÌà language :) I would love talk to you about this and hopefully help along the way.

We received an email about two Fundraising exhibitions with auction to raise money to help to rebuild the 18th Century church Santa Maria del Suffragio in L’Aquila.

 Hi Penny,thanks for your kind and exhaustive reply.Actually regions in Italy, are getting a little more independent than before, so you couldn't be sure if something you say is ok for each area. As you said, some issues relate to the whole nations (i.e. Tessera Sanitaria and Codice Fiscale), while others have a slightly different process.Anyway, people who are quite sure about health processes or have experienced particular heath issues, are very welcomed to add content to the topic "health" and enter the "location" where it happened. That would be very useful for everyone to consult it.Saluti (Â
italian language tip:Â as you may already know, "saluti"Â literally means "Regards" and is quite similar to the italian word "salute" = "health" but also translated in English as "bless you"!

 Hi, that would be a good idea to title the group "Healthcare in Italy", if members would add content related to the whole ½ûÂþÌìÌà territory.Though, I think we need also to consult the group founder and ask her why she opted to title it "Healthcare in Marche". Penny, what do you think?
Hi,just activated the group Penny.Enjoy it, though you are already doing very well.Â
Yesterday I listened to the radio and many people called telling their awful experience, awaken by this big rumbling in the middle of the night. Really horrible...
 Hi,thanks for the content you wish to add. It would be useful for many people I guess! Unfortunately the sticky option is not available right now... That would be great from you, to set an open group putting there all things related! As an alternative, you could set a wiki post, so that people who are aware of changes about the laws can edit it.Â
 I personally love Australia and really hope to go there one day!½ûÂþÌìÌà landscape and culture must be a totally different experience!What differences have you noticed at first sight?
it's a very bad news...gas makes a lot of victims..people who manage it, should be very careful!
 Don't be shy! Just ask and you'll be given...as far as I can!
 it's always like that! when you are good in a particular activity you have never time to do it straight for you!An italian idiom: when somebody writes a long text (as you've done and I appreciate it) his friend may say to him "Stai scrivendo un poema?" whose meaning is very similar to your husband's comment :)ah! Welcome to the Community!!
