Italy: culture, language & customs
Italy is unique, just any other place on Earth is, but not every place on Earth maintains such a powerful image that draws people to it, makes them dream of it and cherish everything it has to offer. In a sense, Italy is the ancestral home of Western civilization. It continues to contribute to the world’s technological progress, but it also preserves in revered safety many traditional values and a way of life that forges continuity between countless centuries of human history. This website is intended to feature Italy’s precious grandeur in every possible aspect: from Italian watches and cars to chocolate, bread and cheese,plusĀ many curious facts, images, Italian quotes and bits of information.

About me:
To put it plainly, I like pretty much anything Italian except the food, but that’s gradually changing! With a degree in Classics (Latin literature in particular), I especially appreciate Italy’s historic heritage.
