Happy Birthday Italy.
I am one Italian American, who is truly proud of her heritage and culture.
Enough said!
Clive Wisbey says
Yes well done Italy and thanks for making it a great place to live for foreigners like myself.
Even in the small villages here in The Langhe there are Italian flags everywhere and the town of Alba was really buzzing last Thursday.

What a list! I think you’ve covered everything there! I never even noticed that on google so thanks for pointing it out. Hope you’ve had a great festa there.
Alex Roe says
As I told Francesca, Welshcakes, I could make the list a lot longer without too much thought!
Had a wet festa here – stayed in afraid – paranoid about wee one getting a cold (we do have quite good reason to be paranoid).
Hope you had fun!
Cheers,
Alex
Francesca Maggi says
Ancora, Ancora! I love your short list…AND the google graphics! Grazie.
Alex Roe says
Prego and thanks Francesca! 🙂
I keep on thinking of names of things and people, past and present, who I’d like to add to the list. I may do so, but the list may end up becoming very long!
Ciao,
Alex
