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?
If you can find the episode number, i can try to locate it and watch it…

Ok, so I have finally watched it, found by sailing the high seas.
So, I never watched family guy before and I am not so sure I like or appreciate the style.
Of course it depicts an italy that’s pretty stereotypical, but I think it fits well in the show “style”.
I know a few Americans (mostly woman) who moved to Italy and stayed, and they currently enjoy living here much more than in the US, but not for the glamour or the supposedly romanticism, which is absolutely a stereotypical build up. Just for the actual quality of life.
The only part I found offensive was the scene in school, with the big tits teacher. We actually have good schools and good teachers, and that was gratuitous and didn’t fit any stereotypes I could think of about Italy from an American point of view, so that felt a bit too much.
The rest, it’s ok, even the mafia part and the run down shaggy southern lifestyle, it’s fitting stereotypes, so o think it’s also funny given the type of show family guy is.
Overall didn’t enjoy much, but I guess I don’t lime the show much anyway, not because of italy.
