 Spending Valentines in Italy

Spending Valentines in Italy
IF your parents are immigrants from Italy and you have never been to the country, this Valentines may be the best time to go to the country if you are given even just a one-week all-expenses paid vacation by your employer. Take your fiancée with you and be captivated by one of the gentle countries of the world. You can even make your trip really special by asking your hotel or agencia de viajes to arrange gestures for you (flowers in the room, romatic excursions….)

To start with, Italy has lots of Roman Catholic tourists from every continent in the planet because the religion is headquartered there. That’s why the hospitality industry in Italy is one of the most prolific the country has. But for this particular Valentines, skip Rome in your itinerary. Go to Verona directly. Verona is the setting of the most romantic tragedy in the world, Romeo and Juliet or in Italian, Romeo e Giulietta. Now is also the best time to travel because you will be helping the Italian economy a lot if you travel, spend and dump your dollars to wherever business you’re transacting with. If you travel via Alitalia from New York to Rome for example and from Rome to Verona, part of what you’ve paid for the air fare goes to the Italian economy. In your own little way, you may even help Alitalia from bankruptcy since the airline is currently ailing and is waiting for other companies to bail it out such as Air China of communist Beijing.

Here in Verona, there is such a thing as the Verona Card which allows you access to every public tourist entity in the city such as churches, parks, arenas, amphitheaters, monuments and markers. And do you know what I love every time I travel? I enjoy eating various delicacies wherever I go anywhere in the world. I certainly hope you’ll enjoy eating here in Verona too. One of their exotic foods here is horse meat. It may taste cranky at first but pretty soon you’ll enjoy munching it. There’s also what you call here as bigoli or thick spaghetti. Aside from being yummy, your stomach will surely be full after eating this because it has lots of carbohydrates and minerals. Just like the way your teacher told you in first grade, eat healthy foods and traveling in places such as Verona is definitely not an exception. And just like in any urban city in the world, couples here in Verona usually dine out during Valentines Day. So stay out of your hotel on that particular evening and dine out.

One sweet thing that an Italian man gives to his girlfriend during Valentines Day is hazelnut-covered chocolate. Or if you are currently staying in Milan during Valentines, you may want to give your girlfriend a pair of sexy lingerie. But you can surprise your wife even better if you cook for her a chocolate dessert right at the confines of the vacation villa that you’re staying here in Italy. Cooking perugina or that hazelnut chocolate I was telling you about is so simple.

 Love to Be Living in Italy

Love to Be Living in Italy
ITALY is known for so much and if you’ve been living here for a year or so, this will really be an enjoyable moment in your life especially if you are a European foreigner. I came from a small village in France and after finishing my masters in metallurgical engineering, I was hired by an Italian company and I need to transfer here in Rome. Of course, my transfer and eventual promotion was not without perks.

Aside from Rome, I often roamed places such as Tuscan and Venice because my assignment was also in those areas. Thus, I enjoyed the sights on the side. The beautiful sights that I have seen here so far include the Basilica of St. Peter’s at the Vatican. There, I enjoyed moments and moments of reflection and serene at that. Of course, the Holy See is technically not part of Italy and is a sovereign nation in itself but I have enjoyed being there.

My family has also transferred here and together for the past six months, I have also enjoyed taking an Italian language course every weekend with my daughter. Italian is not that difficult a language to learn. All you need to do is watch that Roberto Benigni movie Life is Beautiful and you can say that the Italian language is indeed that wonderful.

Aside from the language course which I have loved, I have also taken passion in eating Italian food. I don’t mean the Italian items that are found on menus in most Western restaurants especially in France which they claim as Italian. Bologna and pasta here in Italy is different to make and for a minimal price, I can already go to the supermarket by myself here and buy some Italian ingredients for homemade pasta. That is the essence of a true Italian meal. Food must be savored at home. I even organize parties for my new found Italian friends here and they all agreed that my cooking is superb. I believe them that they were telling the truth. After all, they’re my colleagues and subordinates at the company.

Once in a while, I get a vacation with my wife and kids so we often go to some luxury cruise across the sea to go to Sicily. Sicily’s capital Palermo is one of those cute lovely cities and the Italian people living there are all hospitable. They say that the Mafia inhabit Palermo but I believe they were wrong because Palermo is filled with beautiful sights and crime is at an all-time low.

But I usually stay in Rome though because work doesn’t permit me to tour around the country except on vacation time. My residence which I share with my wife and an only daughter is actually just a condominium unit. We are hooked to cable television but most of the channels are in Italian though. They even dub Mario Battali’s Mediterranean cooking show in Italian but ever since taking the language course five months ago, I have come to appreciate and even use the language in my everyday routine here.
