You asked people to write if they had lived in Italy. I lived and worked there for several months as a nanny to two little boys and can honestly say it was a time which gives me many beautiful memories. I loved it. Everything about Italy – the food, the people, the weather (why, even the rain seemed warm in those days), the scenery, the whole way of Italian life. I lived with a family, and I was included in family life and was privileged to see life through Italian eyes. We regularly visited restaurants off the beaten track and ate delicious food. Sometimes there would also be restaurants where you could dance in the open air, under the stars. Whole days were spent on the beach and in the evening we would barbeque on the sand, eating fish caught in the sea, and watching the sunset.

It was a very, very beautiful time for me. I adore Italy.
