Hi guys,
here you are the usual review. This week I have decided to share some info about Turin, the official first capital city of Italy.
The next review won’t be published next Sunday, but on Feb.8th, when the challenge will be officially over 🙂 Almost finished 💪
Enjoy!
Hi guys,
Still editing the post about Vicenza, my city; for now here you are the usual Instagram review. Have a nice Sunday!
Hi guys,
I wish you all a fantastic new year! At the moment I am visiting South Tyrol and Tyrol, Austria, so the series of posts about Vicenza will have to wait a little bit.
Until then, have the usual Instagram review. Enjoy!
The usual Sunday review was postponed on Monday, as yesterday was Christmas and it can be a very demanding day for Italians 😂 I’m still trying to digest all the food I ate, it might take a bit to fully recover 😂😂
I hope you had a nice and relaxing Christmas day and I wish you all HAPPY HOLIDAYS!❤
First of all, thank you guys for the amount of love I have been receiving for this series ❤ Even Italians have appreciated it, telling me it’s insightful and on point, and so I’m obviously relieved and happy as native people can be the harshest critics! Thank God, I have yet to enrage my compatriots 😂
On Tuesday I decided to write a bit about Italian cafès and their various “rules”. I have been reading around blogs some “rules”, which are not completely right and so I figured the pov of a native would have been useful.I completely get where they come from, but some clarifications needed to be done. Enjoy!
Hi guys,
here I am with the weekly Instagram review!
On Monday I wanted to focus my attention on the infamous Constitutional Referendum we had to vote for on Dec.4th and now I want to specify some things in here as well. I decided to dedicate an instagram post to it, mainly because of the things I was reading in foreign newspapers in the immediate aftermath. Let me make things clear: “No” was NOT a vote for the so-called “Italexit”. This Referendum had nothing to do with the EU. Sadly, some countries that are dealing with EU secessionist movements decided to write in their newspapers that this Italian “NO” was cumulative evidence of the fact that EU is failing and that people want to leave. Well, no. We surely have a few political parties that are proactively against the Union, but THIS referendum was entirely an INTERNAL matter. People who voted “no” did that for mainly two reasons:
I won’t comment on voters and the final result, I just wanted to point out that there are false news that are spreading around.
I think that what happened is a valid and useful lesson for the future, though: don’t trust everything people say, let’s check multiple sources of information and develop a critic opinion before judging. This is valid for every aspect of our lives.
Thanks for the attention. Enjoy the review 🙂
Here we are with our usual Sunday appointment!
This week I have decided to focus on:
I hope you enjoy! 😘
This is not a really good period for Italy: newscasts and headlines tell about a country that is dealing with a scary earthquake, the immigrants crisis, the lack of work and the dreadful constitutional referendum. Lately it’s not easy finding hope for us Italians.
For this reason, I decided to start a challenge on instagram called #100ItalyFacts in order to remind myself what’s good in Italy and also to share interesting aspects of my country to people who would like to know more about it. I will post everyday for 100 days a photo and a caption which will focus on a particular aspect of the Belpaese. They are tidbits which, hopefully, will open small windows on less known aspects of the Italian culture. If you are interested, follow me on instagram or read a weekly summary I will post here on Sundays.
Here there is the first recap!
My Dear Italia
