Como, Lombardia
my cousins live here
I have to stop by and visit every time I’m in Europe.
It’s really tough, sitting in the piazza, having espressi, and basking in all this, but I do it.

over 4 years agothe acoustics are demonstrated by the tour guide.
He sang one note, then another, then another, and together, they formed a chord that swirled around and around.
it was cool.
over 4 years agoThe omnipresent SPQR is translated by locals as “Sono porchi questi romani!” (these romans are pigs) in reference to the dirty city.
in reality, Romans are warm and full of life. Once you get used to the dialect!
In Roma, they don’t use the italian “il” for “the” but pronounce everything “Er”
so, it’s Er colisseo, not Il Colisseo.
and, while in Tuscany the OH! that is uttered to gather one’s attention, in Rome it’s AHH-OH!
Very Roman.
