So very true! I recently moved to Rome and find the little interactions with the local shop keepers invaluable!

SO with you on meeting new people. Anxiety galore. Which is why I love the interactions with my usual market traders; that feeling of comfortable familiarity without the obligation of having to divulge everything about our lives. I love that.

Re: Adopt a Spire on the Milano Duomo

This is a fantastic initiative. It has always surprised me that Italy doesn't have more of this. It is somewhat common in the US to adopt a piece of something or buy a brick for a piazza or other similar project.

I'm a huge fan of Fo's theatre but I've never explored his visual art. Thanks for sharing his exhibition.

P.S: I'm also becoming a fan of your blog.

I'm an expat blogging from Sicily. Feel free to stop by for a visit:http://unwillingexpat.wordp...

Nice tips! August is actually a really good time to visit, despite the mentioned closures, because there are a ton of events, concerts, festas and sagras going on, providing fun, cheap entertainment!

I like the attitude: Visiting Italy in August is better than not visiting at all. Actually, the biggest "problem" for me is the cost of the transportation in the summer months. I can get way more Italy and spend more time there in the months that I can get a cheap flight.

August is actually the best month to go to Italy, just not the north. Calabria and Sicily are packed with tourists

Re: Five Favorites: Italian Words

I should add the five more common words in "roman" language. "Dai", for example, can be changed in "daje", "andiamo" with "nnamo" :)

I'm just an amateur photographer but I have to agree it is the best place to take pictures. But not only in Rome, but in every corner of Italy too. And that's for us to discover. :)

Thank you for sharing! I just finished writing an article on the Palio, and this video illustrated perfectly what I was trying to describe!

Rome is one of my favorite places to take pictures, not because of all the archeological sites but because of all the different areas of the city. There are many neat flat areas where you can get great backgrounds and many other hilly areas to shoot from either looking up or down and when doing it right can come with some great shots. Really like the shot through the alleyway of the man walking past on his cell phone. This is something you have to wait for and has to be timed just right.
