PERUGIA

THREE YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO GO AND LIVE IN ITALY FOR A WHOLE YEAR, PERUGIA IS THE DREAM PLACE FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS WILLING TO LEARN ITALIAN. WHY? BECAUSE IT’S A LOVELY MEDIEVAL CITY WHICH HOST A UNIVERSITY FOR FOREIGNERS, SPECIALLY CREATED TO TEACH ITALIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE TO FOREIGN PEOPLE.

I FELT SO FORTUNATE WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PLACE AND EVEN MORE WHEN I GOT THERE. EVERYONE IS SO OPEN-MINDED, YOU MAKE FRIENDS FOR LIFE IN A SECOND.

“LE SCALETTE” ARE THE STAIRS LOCATED IN THE CITY CENTRE WHERE EVERYONE MEET AT NIGHT BEFORE GOING CLUBBING. EVERYBODY GATHER AND CHAT WITH STRANGERS IN A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE AND A DRINK OF COURSE.

GETTING TO KNOW ITALIAN FILM HISTORY WAS ONE OF MY HOBBY. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OF FILMS, OLD AND NEW.  I WATCHED A LOT OF ITALIAN COMEDY MOVIES LIKE “MARRIAGE ITALIAN STYLE”, “DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE” OR “I SOLITI IGNOTI”, JUST TO NAME A FEW. PLUS I HAD THE CHANCE TO ENJOY A LOT OF SPAGHETTI WESTERNS AS WELL AS CLASSICS LIKE “THE LEOPARD” OR “BICYCLE THIEFS”.

I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, I HAVE SPENT ONE OF THE GREATEST YEARS OF MY LIFE THERE AND I STILL LONGING TO MAKE A LIVING THERE ONE DAY.
