Club Italia: Italians... not just from Italy

[RadioFM74]

Can I join?
I'm not Italian, but I grew up in the border to Italy, speak Italian, and go there as often as I can.

Where I grew up, I could ski across the border to the Val d'Aosta region, and I later went to school (doing my maturità with Italian as my main subject) in a Swiss town that was a 30 minute train journey from the Piemonte region.

These days, I try to go see a friend near Domodossola about once a month, and in the summer (when the mountain passes open) my wife and I sometimes drive across the mountains to Aosta. If we have a few days, we like to go to Milano, Torino or Genova, and during our holidays even further. Last year we saw Puglia and Toscana, it was great!

One of ours!!

Ciao Lupo! Sono Roberto Infanti. My parents were from near Udine, but I was born here in Canada. We are what you call "polentone"

I’m not from Italy but my ex-spousel unit is on vacation and on a Cruise Ship in Venice Italy right now and sent me this picture from a shop there. Really quality stuff in my opinion.

Anybody there been to this store?
