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 Italian would say "Chiamalo idiota!" (..not that idiot!) after thinking about how many laws he introduced to defend himself...

Hi Karylvery happy you joined the community.Many lovers of Italy are considering to move to Italy, so I'm pretty sure many members will help you reporting their own experience.Personally, I lived in France for almost an year. It has been easier for me since I already knew where to live and what to do there. Thanks to my job I soon created a little community of friends (Italians couldn't go anywhere without Friends). So the distance from home was less painful. The only thing I suddenly noticed was the difference of people behavior (Italians are well known to be one of the warmest population in Europe) and of food attitudes (I couldn't spent a day without pasta!, but luckily I had enough time to buy my favourite products to the supermarket and cook them at home).I really liked the french lifestyle. And after some months I appreciated anything that place had to offer. In the end I can say it has been a great experience.My only advice is to be open to a different culture, food and lifestyle.Hope that the magazine and the community could give you more support and feedback about how thinks works in Italy. The News stories (http://www.italymag.co.uk/latest-stories) keep you updated with what's going on in Italy, while the Feature stories (http://www.italymag.co.uk/italy-featured) describe places, food, property and other aspects of life in Italy.Best wishes for your future decision, please keep us updated!Valentina

 Yes, I think you all are right,RICORDO has to be interpreted as "memory"Obviously the meaning is related to what is pictured in that photo, but it is clear that he wants to leave us a memory of something happened that time.

I think that listening to locals and trying to speak with them - careless about the pronunciation or the grammar - is of course the best way to practice your Italian and to learn new aspects of the language, that are not written in the books.Anyway, if you have no chance to speak with locals, have a look, pardon, listen to this podcasts, there are both English and Italian versions of the text and you can hear the Italian version while reading the Italian translation, you can stop and re-listen as many times as you need. Plus, you can observe how to translate some expressions from English to Italian,they are located here:Dual Language ArticlesHope this helps a little...
