I already knew most NJ Italians were from Calabria or Sicily, but didn't know about all the different languages/dialects.<br /><br />Once I was chatting with my sister, who moved to California around the time I move to NJ. We were talking about food, and I said something about "pruhshoot". She didn't understand; finally said "oh, proshooto!" I guess the Italians in CA come from a different part of Italy! (For the record, we're Scots-Irish Americans and never heard of that ham until we were adults.)<br /><br />Beverly in NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-14905906118674709432018-08-17T21:37:01.773+01:002018-08-17T21:37:01.773+01:00Yes I have booked trains successfully on the Treni...Yes I have booked trains successfully on the Trenitalia website (in English) - once I had firm dates in mind.<br />I don't see any Italian public holidays listed in October.

I find Neil McGregor's "A History of the World in 100 Objects" induces a kind of mesmeric calm - I use it on long car journeys which I find stressful. It is also in bitesize chunks so you can stop any time.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.com
