In 2004 I met an Italian and my life changed forever. Now I'm finding out about her homeland.

Companies hiring social media managers and expecting them to do photography, videography, graphic design, copywriting, brand strategy, monitor metrics, host YouTube, make tiktok dances. The work of an entire marketing team, w/little to no pay

Italy is back in the news due to debates over the ECB and bond purchases. Unfortunately, there are again lots of distorted stories and statements around.

Here's a data-based summary thread that may help in debunking the claims about a "profligate, reform-lazy Italy". 🧵

La prossima settimana l'Italia finirà letteralmente nel forno travolta da un'ondata di caldo davvero intensa. Le mappe sono eloquenti. È inutile girarci intorno, stiamo vivendo una catastrofe climatica, idrica e ambientale.

Your advice please! We're spending a few days in #Abruzzo and are thinking of staying near #CaramanicoTerme. Is there enough to do there to keep two under 10s happy?

@izzetta @HikerThe Thanks. We normally go to lago di Vico. A bit off the beaten track and there are some lovely agriturismi nearby.

Recommendations please!! Looking for somewhere mountainous within a few hours drive of Rome, to spend a week over ferragosto. Umbria? Abruzzo? Somewhere with walking, something for the kids? #Aiuto #ItalyTravel

[Pete @LazioExplorer]

@izzetta @HikerThe Thanks both! Subiaco is a good shout. I'm looking for somewhere cooler than the cities and with a bit of light walking, a lago... any ideas?

My Grandpa Dave told me he was sure he was gay when he was moving into his dorm room freshman year of college and there was a boy “with the prettiest eyes;” after Grandpa passed, I learned from my mother who that boy was.

@Miss_Rosso Gorgeous.

@spacedlaw Ack! It seems closed today 🙄

@BarbaraGSerra Amazing documentary. Well done!

’Expats’ in Spain eh? You think you know what they’re like, don’t you. Well here’s a perspective you’ll never get on CH4, BBC, Sky or ITV.

All who are headed to Rome, take note: If you can’t do an after-hours visit of the Vatican Museums then book @understandrome for a private tour as she always knows the best times to go. Please believe me when I say it will change your experience entirely.

I'm flying into #Florence airport in a few weeks and I've just been shocked by some of the reviews - both of the airport and of the transportation to/from Florence. Does anyone local have any advice?

[Pete @LazioExplorer]

@DianaJSpencer So sorry to hear.

Sicily is it - history, archaeology, culture and street food shaped like the local volcano. What would you like to know about this magical place? Tweet me your questions and I'll respond via video over the weekend!
