Any Italian Jellies around? Buon anniversario dell'unificazione a tutti!

Not only is today a day of celebration for our Irish friends; it’s also a memorable day for Italy. Order a pizza to go along with that green beer! Today marks the 150th anniversary of the unification of the Kingdom of Italy!

I’m not Italian, although I’ve adopted the culture as my own and have dedicated my academic life to the study of Italian language, culture and literature.

Are there any Italians lurking about? Have you ever visited Italy? What’s your favourite thing about Italian culture? The food, the music, the architecture, Rudolph Valentino, Roberto Benigni?
