ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria - a writer, content creator, and the visionary behind Dramatically Expatic. With a background in TV, where I hosted my own program (think a bit more formal than my current UA-cam adventures), I now thrive on the dynamic and creative freedom of the web. As an expat in Italy for eight years and counting, I hold a BA in Theatre and Film Studies and an MSc in Media Organisation from the University of Bologna. I have always had a huge passion for discovering new places, having traveled all around the world since I was a child, so there were no second thoughts when searching for my niche. Here I share my best advice on visiting Italy, budget travel tips to Italy, and all things living in Italy entails!

Can you include videos on popular less known destinations often ignored, places to stay things to do etc. Italy is great and we took 3 trips from US covering Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Milan. lake Como, Cinque Terre, Amalfi coast, Sorrento, Capri Island etc. Want to do Portofino area and many more. Italy has the best to offer for European tourism and the list of places are never ending. Beautiful country and love it.

    According to a report from the BBC in London, a modern Italian is the sum of: Romans (these do not exceed 38%) + Germanic people, among them: Lombards, Ostrogoths, Heruli, Swabians and Normans, all accentuated and established in what is now Italy and on a smaller scale: Celts and Greeks. Separately, there is Sicily that belonged to Carthage (today Tunisia and part of Turkey) invaded by the Romans and when it dissipated it was taken by the Arabs although it was short-lived due to Ostrogothic pressures (Germanics) and in the end the Normans (Germanics) prevailed over said territory. From the above it is evident that a modern Italian is the mixture of Western Europe

    I'm Italian and grew up in Milano. I've lived in Florida USA since 1987 and there is certainly a lot that I miss about Italy. I remember coming back to the USA one year after visiting my parents in Italy, and in the 15 minute drive to my son's school all I saw was gas stations, churches and convenience stores - a sad view compared to the likes of Palazzo della Scala, Castello Sforzesco piazza del Duomo all within the same time frame, on a tram ride in Milano, which also took 15 minutes. In Italy you can really FEAST your eyes on many interesting things, without spending money or driving to fancy locations by just going for a simple walk down the street. Italians are definitely friendlier and warmer that Americans, in my opinion. Americans are more opportunity oriented, always ready to seize the moment. Italians are much better at relaxing and enjoying the moment, without turning a simple get-together into a money making opportunity. Americans are very good at that, they are just programmed at being competitive from a very young age and the way of life in the USA allows and encourages kids to be entrepreneurs too. But life in the USA is quite stressful. Depending on where you live here, life can be very expensive and you're really always "on the go". There are rural areas too where life is simpler but the level of culture is not comparable to the quality of life I would find in rural-Italy. I can't say the food is great everywhere in Italy, but anything you find will be much better than an Applebee's or Chili restaurant chain. There are conveniences in the US that I would not want to give up though. Service in the USA is still very strong and the customer is definitely right. In Italy store owners may argue with you so be prepared for that. If you threaten to sue for something which you could get away with in the USA, chances are they'll laugh at you, as they should. Law enforcement is more relaxed though, I remember once in Rome watching 2 police officers (carabinieri) telling a guy to move along as they were escorting him out of the park....they were strolling mostly, with their hands behind their backs....very relaxed. The man didn't need handcuffing or arresting, he was just being removed from the park for being a nuisance. You are treated as a REAL PERSON in Italy, instead of a criminal. In Italy you are expected to USE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND YOU ARE LAUGHED AT, IF YOU DON'T. Yes, there is a lot that I miss about Italy.
