the one where it's spring in italy

sometimes you spend Saturday night going grocery shopping. at a store you can drive to because it has a parking lot which means you can by the 12 pack of toilet paper. and if the gods are with you, you will see more mexican food type products in one aisle than you have seen in the past three years. and you will weep tears of joy.

and then they will have pickles. can life get any better? Not until you turn the corner and they also have non-Peroni beer. Best.Saturday.Night.Ever.




the suspicious part is that this is written in english…just embrace it people. the italians look better than the rest of us. 

i love that all the street cleaning crews use these besom brooms that even the amish deem too old-fashioned.  that's right, besom brooms. google it.


parallel parking around these parts is not for the faint of heart.

sometimes being here is like living in disneyworld. 

i don't always wear 6 inch heels, but when i do, it's to work at the grocery store.

seeing these teeny cars never gets old

why did the little dog cross the road?

My name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Italy and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The expats on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. They must also speak English fluently and can be buyers or renters for their homes. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.

i am also an American who jumps up and down when I find true Mexican products, especially corn tortillas. I search the Chinese and Arab shops in Padova in hopes to find something useful. I find pickles in the Russian shop, and have ordered things I need, like crisco online. My friends who come over bring me vanilla, corn tortillas and masa harina. I can finally get cheddar cheese in Padova. Italian tastes are beginning to blossom, but not fast enough for me. I think they wear blinders like horses most of the time, just refusing to try something new. Up here, in the north, they shy away from spicy anything. They are true purists!
