And you are in Italy! My ex wife was Italian, had a long term relationship with another Italian. We ate sausage and meatballs at Christmas and Thanksgiving, very familiar with culture. Never been to Italy but the last girl, I was with eight years, her mom comes to Italy every year for a month. Yes, you’re going to get what you desire soon if my experience with the two Italian families I lived with for many years is true with culture in your county. This was the relationship prior to the current one I am recovering from.
