*Italy is a fantastic country. Many people dream to go there, even to live there. Do you, too?* When I learnt Latin at school I dreamt to go there one day and see all the ancient places. Later I imaged Italy as a warm country with blue sea and white beaches everywhere and I wanted to really be there some day.
Now I live here for 30 years - and Mamma Mia! - Italy! What a place, what a country. Some dreams came true, others didn’t. The landscape is inexpressible beautiful - and Italians do their best to destroy it with ugly industries or just by throwing rubbish everywhere they go.
It is a love-hate relationship I have developed for this country, but I am still here!
In this show I have invited foreigners like myself who have chosen to live in Italy, as well as Italians who have chosen to NOT live in Italy but are really attached to it in nostalgia - and also a person who is born and grown in Italy and has no intention to go elsewhere.
We intend to discuss what this country means for us, what tourists can get when they come here, what you get when you chose to live here, why life seems easy here - and really difficult, and why we, ultimately, love this country and are proud to show it to visitors.

*About Nuccia*
Nuccia was born and raised in Montreal. She has a passion for writing and blogging especially about beauty. A year ago she was diagnosed with Celiac disease and being Italian, it forced her to change her entire eating habits. She wanted to help others in their journey with celiac and gluten intolerance and as a result, has written a book in hopes that it will help them answer their questions. The traditional Italian and Sicilian recipes contained in the book prove that going gluten-free doesn't have to be a sacrifice. It can be delicious! Find Nuccia here: [ Ссылка ]
