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?

    Nope! None of my kids got sky lessons from school. We took them to the slopes to get lessons tough.

    None of them currently lime skying too much actually. My wife does, but not the sky with the slopes, what we call “scialpinismo” where you put skins under the sky and go also up without lifts

        Yes! Cross country skying was the word.

        Too difficult for my skills… But yes, it’s the best. Also very dangerous around here as the risk of avalanches can be really high.
