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?

    Vorrei dire ‘Ciao’!

    Sto provando a imparare italiano, ma so che ci sono molto non lo so. Spero che non ti dispiaccia se provo a parlare italiano

    Vorrei leggere libri per bambini e ragazzi per migliorare. Quali libri come questi ti piacciono?

    Come ti sentono delle persone degli stati uniti? Ho applicato per cittadinanza jure sanguinis, ma ho paura che persone lì non si piacerò. Come ti senti di jure sanguinis, generalmente? (actually I just saw that you already answered this when Fondots asked it, scusami)

    Sai qualcosa di scalata in Italia? O delle rocce lì? Vivi in Piemonte, sì? Penso a Finale Ligure - la conosci?

    (annnnd because I’m certain I made mistakes, in english)

    spoiler

    I just want to say ‘Hi’!

    I’m trying to learn Italian, but I know there’s a lot I don’t know. I hope you won’t mind if I try to speak it :) I’m still a beginner

    I would like to read children’s books to improve my speaking. Which ones do you like? (Which ones did you like when you were a kid / for your kids?)

    How do you feel about americans? I applied for citizenship via jure sanguinis, but I’m afraid that people there won’t like me. How do you feel about jure sanguinis, in general? (and my apologies if you don’t like it or us. I get it)

    Do you know anything about rock climbing in Italy? Or the rocks there? I think of Finale Liguria for that - are you familiar with it? Since you live in Piedmont?

    Oh and in bocca al lupo per la tua gara! Grazie per il tuo tempo :)
