Any curiosity about life in Italy? How it is really like to live in the northern part of the boot shaped peninsula?

So, I am a father, I love and have cats and dogs, live in a small town in northern Italy, and and I work full time in a field related to software, technology and loosely transportation. I also lived in Rome, one of the biggest northern italy metropolies, and in smaller places like Pisa.

In a previous life I traveled around lots of the world and in my current life I am training for an Ironman.

All of this, while living in the above mentioned country.

Specially for US lemmiers, but also people from other parts of the world, anything you want me to explain, clarify or just answer about all of the above?

    I had no idea, to be honest, that this was the case.

    I think there is no discussion on the topic at the moment, i can tell you what i do think about it. Well, since if you are a citizen you have the right to vote on our political elections, if you dont actually live in italy and are not affected (properties in Italy, relatives still living here and so on), you should not be allowed to vote. So, while i don’t care if you get citizenship by ancestry, i do mind if you influence italian political elections without any stake in them.

    It’s a general point of view, i have no specific case, just an opinion.
