What Italians Talk About. Stories from Southern Italy

Real stories with the flavor of the Italian sun!

Southern Italy is a completely different world, which is very different from the north of the country in its culture, traditions, and way of life. The people living here are very soulful... and hospitable, although somewhat temperamental. But they are Italians after all! And if you have ever thought about how to learn to understand them, the author Evgenia Selishcheva, who has lived here since 2006, has found one true way - and that is language! After all, it is the most complete reflection of any nation's culture.

Whom do Italians call 'poor Christs,' what do they describe with the word affare, how does the Italian grapevine work, and why is it important to 'plant a voice' in this context?

Immerse yourself in the colorful local culture with non-fictional stories about the residents of a typical southern town! And find answers to the questions you have about these temperamental Italians!
