Broken links: Since November, 2005, I have written over 300+ blog entries with 1,000's of corresponding links/URLs for Moving2Italy2, covering a varied and wide range of topics. In the event if you come across a broken link or a non-functioning link/URL, please post a comment and report the non-functional link. I wish to thank you in advance for assisting me in the ongoing maintenance and the updating of this successful and informative blog.
Please note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog.
Some of the above mentioned customs and rules about what you eat or drink in Italy are dated and/or written in a "tongue and cheek" style. There are differences in eating Italian in Italy versus eating Italian (read: Italian-American) in the USA. Too many times, I have overheard in restaurants in Italy that a dish served to an American or English speaking tourist "is not like its served at home" or "where's the butter" or "asking for what types of salad dressings are available", etc.
Be that as it may, enjoy whatever you are eating and enjoy your time in Italy.

"Un diplomatico è un uomo che si ricorda sempre del compleanno di una donna ma non si ricorda mai della sua età."
"A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday, but never remembers her age."
