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?

    Bigger topic has been the constitutional referendum on which the government (right-wing thugs with love for populism and veterofascism) tried to change 7 articles of the constitution to bring the judicial system under the control of the government. They failed, but the most important point is that the vote proved that the government lost popular support and the current chief of the government (often translated to prime minister, but not literally the same) Giorgia Meloni is struggling to keep the government in power until next year general elections.
