Starter-pack Italy!

CIAO Charlie,

Come stai? (How are you?)

Today I am going to talk about Italy! Films, songs, dishes, places to go… Being half Italian I hope you will follow my suggestions.

First of all, here are a list of films and series to be well up on the life of Italians.

Secondly, here are a few songs by Italian singers (some may be a bit old-fashioned as I am used to listen to them with my grandparents or my parents…): Sparring Partner - Paolo Conte Alice - Francesco de Gregori La Bambola - Patty Pravo Bang bang - Dalida Sapore di sale - Gino Paoli Here… please note these are songs of my childhood :) Moreover, here are a few dishes that are absolutely necessary to know to become a true Italian. I am not going to insert pizza and pasta: I am well aware you’ve heard of them. However, it is not a myth. Italians really do eat them all the time. Le melanzane alla Parmigiana Basically, it is eggplant/aubergines with parmesan. Arancini These are balls with rice and cheese in it. Meat and peas, tomato and mozzarella, mushrooms… you can find many different flavours. La crema di caffe’ This is a coffee cream, like melted ice-cream. Delicious. Risotto This is personally my speciality. Finally, here are must see places in Italy. My favourite places are Rome and Sicily because these are where I am from originally. ROME Sicily Milan Tuscany Sardinia

Here, I hope this has made you hungry and thirsty for more Italy! See you soon, a presto!
