Then September came...My good memories of this summer: granita and brioches for breakfast, long walks along the sea before going to bed, "arrostite" in the evenings = BBQ , wake up and be delighted by the gentle fresh air..

"During the first week of August only 46% of baggage was delivered right after the flight, while the required level is 90%. "

Claudio Baglioni (Rome - 10 May 1951) is a pop singer, song-writer and composer who made the big-time with Questo piccolo grande amore. I guess that every loving couple in Italy has dedicated this love song to his/her lover!

Along with Italian Language and Italian song I thought we should also venture a bit into more general Italian

Guess you know who's the Italian in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeSzFtqLxQ4
Hi Berry happy you joined us. Thanks for sharing a little bit about your life and of your love for Italy. All people who have "cuore italiano" cannot help but return to their roots Have you travelled to Italy in the past?
forgotten to add a news published today, authored by Pat Eggleton: http://www.italymag.co.uk/italy/life-style/southern-italians-less-intell...
here's a list of people who has showed to have a HIGH IQ level.. all from Sicily Salvatore Quasimodo - nobel for literature Giovanni Verga - writer Vitaliano Brancati - writer Luigi Pirandello - nobel for literature Tommaso Campailla (scientist) if it's not enough: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siciliani unluckily I got knowledge about sicilian people - maybe other members that visited more southern regions could be able to provide more names
to see it and join check out the groups list (where you may find more interesting groups to join.. ) it's published, should see it in a few minutes..
got it now, sorry for going off-topic... really funny from a moderator isn't it :D
I thinks that this thread has given the chance to start different topics or groups (I would suggest to create a group facebook style "those who hate Mr B" just to see how many members would join
) I won't spend a word about the other place... which would be again off topic with the reason why Tess started this thread.. re beeryspice, you are welcome to the community, like all members are of course. Thanks for having started a new thread and introduce yourself. It's a great think to learn something more about the members who join this community. All members should make an Introductory thread (and I realize that I haven't done it yet..). a delayed one would be appreciated as well, wouldn't it?
I would also give a try to Tele 2. There are many special offers. I've heard that some people had troubles with Tele 2 and Infostrada (many more with Infostrada). Anyway Tele2 is cheaper that Telecom. it can also give you adsl access. good luck!
There is no better town where to learn art in Italy than Florence, the place where Renaissance was born and developed! There are so many museums and monument where you can enrich your culture! I also suggest to visit Siena (just 1:30 minutes from Florence). In Florence there are also Universities for Fashion studies. I'm not sure if you are going to attend DAMS (which is also based in Bologna) ...so you are going to live in Florence, a wonderful town, cosmopolitan atmosphere, artistic resources... I strongly wish I was there !!!
Hi Berry, I think you should hold a Patente C (C licence), which allows you to drive vehicles over 3,5q and to transport goods - since Patente B is valid for vehicles till 3,5 q. I also know that your licence is valid in Italy if you come from a country that is part of EU, but it would be better to go at "Motorizzazione Civile" (should be the DMV, Department of Motor Vehicles) closest to you, just to be sure you don't need to translate it. You can find more info on this website: http://www.patente.it/ecom.dll/noAjax?idc=985 It's in Italian only so if you need any further clarifications don't hesitate to ask for.
bye Valentina
