Questions Asked

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 Italian 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. Italian songs are part of me - as an Italian - and part of Italian culture.

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

HI!you can also say: "il pieno, per favore". It's shorter but not less formal than the above expressions.I usually spend 20 euros a week and noticed that they don't clean the screen under this amount :(  Here's some related expressions that you may use in Italy:

  • Replying to the question "Dove vai? / Where are you going?" you could answer: "Vado a far benzina / I'm going to fill it up"
  • If you notice that your car is running out of petrol: "Sono in riserva / I'm running on an empty car"
  • In an unluckily situation: "se non faccio benzina subito, rimango a piedi" / If I don't fill it up immediately I may be left on foot!"

Mi raccomando, fate sempre benzina!! :)
