Hi Sorcha and welcome. Enjoy the Community. We all look forward to hearing more from you. 

Hi and welcome to the Community. I enjoyed to read about your life in Italy.I guess you've learned a lot about Italian culture, traditions and language, since you are married to an Italian! Looking forward to hear about your experiences in Italy!Here's a little guide to the website:if you would like to share with us some of your photos about Italy you could create a New Photo galleryIf you've eaten in a restaurant and wish to advise it to other people, you could create a New Restaurant Review Anytime you create a new post, please indicate topic, location and tags so that it's easier for other members find it and eventually answer.I think it's enough for now - you must have a great mal di testa! - so enjoy the Piazza and send me a Private Message if you need more clarifications!Valentina
