Ah, Italy! The land of endless vacations, month-long summer breaks, and more federal holidays than you can count on both hands. But is life in Italy really just one big holiday?

Join us as we dive into the realities of living and working in this beautiful country.

In this episode, we'll explore the Italian approach to holidays and time off, and how it compares to the American experience. We'll also discuss the misconceptions about life in Italy and how, despite the generous vacation time, Italians still have to work hard and navigate the challenges of normal, everyday life (but obviously with a 🤌).

From understanding Italian work culture to balancing it with leisure, we'll share our insights and experiences as Americans who have been living here for not long enough. So, grab an espresso, sit back, and join us on this journey through the ups and downs of Italian life!
