Moving2Italy2

My wife and I have moved to Italy in mid-September, 2007. Prior to this move and after, I had identified, collected, assembled for our eventual move to Italy many, many links about things one should be aware of before moving to Italy. I believe that these links will benefit other like-minded individuals who are considering or dreaming to move to Italy. This effort is on-going and I hope will benefit with the interaction with interested individuals. I will continue to make entries to this blog.

Social Gift Giving in Italy – "At an early age, Italian children are taught to put a lot of thought into the selection of a gift, considering their recipient's interests and tastes. As a visitor, you should do the same" – "Gifts are expected for social events and to express thanks for an invitation. If you are invited to someone's home, a gift of wine, chocolates, pastries or flowers is appropriate. If you prefer to send flowers, have them delivered earlier in the day. You may consider a gift for the host's wife in appreciation for preparing the meal. And, if you visit a family, consider small gifts for the children as well."
Christmas Gift Giving in Italy – "In Italy, most of the Christmas gift giving occurs on the Epiphany. The 12th day of Christmas, Epiphany is the day the three wise men arrived at the manger bearing gifts for the Baby Jesus. As the story goes, the three wise men stopped by the abode of La Befana. Although invited to join them, she refused but later changed her mind and set out to find the Christ child. According to legend, she is still searching. Everywhere she visits, she leaves gifts for the children in hopes of finding the Baby Jesus. Children hang their stockings on the evening of January 5, awaiting gifts from La Befana."

Shopping in Turin – "Turin is not the best Italian city for fancy shopping.You have Milan or Rome for that. Although there are plenty of small and expensive brand shops, you’ll realize that shopping style differs depending on the streets you’re walking on. You can find everything, from the upscale brands to the world-spread cheap chains in via Roma, to more alternative shops, bookstores and “bancarelle” in via Po.There are no big shopping malls in the centre, for that go to Lingotto or Le Gru. The most popular pedestrian streets also among the locals are via Garibaldi, via Lagrange and via Carlo Alberto. But we suggest you to go also to trendy neighborhoods Quadrilatero Romano or as well to San Salvario, where you can find plenty of small shops which sell clothes and products made by locals. After passing Quadrilatero Romano you will arrive at the flea market in Porta Palazzo, the Balon. Moreover, once a month, on each 2nd Sunday, there's the Gran Balon." – "about us" – Source: Like A Local – "SKIP THE TOURIST TRAPS! Explore like a local"
