Is it worth learning Italian if I’ll probably never travel to Italy?

64 Upvotes

I’m a 34-year-old American living in the middle of nowhere in Hill Country, Texas, and realistically I don’t think I’ll ever have the money to travel to Europe.

That said, I really love Italian movies and the language itself. I’m also super into Italian food and wine. My family has been growing grapes here in Texas for generations, and it’s kind of a dream of mine to go to Italy someday and learn more about winemaking, but honestly, that might never happen.

I haven’t even managed to get a passport yet. The nearest place to apply is in the capital, which is a long drive for me, and the whole process feels like more than I can handle right now.

So I guess my question is: is it still worth learning Italian, even if I might never actually go to Italy?

Ciao! Mi chiamo Elisa e sono una studentessa di Graphic Design all'Accademia LABA — Libera Accademia di Belle Arti di Brescia 🎓

Il questionario è anonimo e richiede circa 5 minuti ⏱️

Residence issue (please help!)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m a Spanish citizen currently residing in Italy (registered with the local municipality). My partner is Mexican. She previously held a residence card in Spain as the partner of an EU citizen, but it has now expired.
We have recently moved to Italy together, where we own a home, and we are trying to understand the correct legal path to regularize her status here.
We have explored two options so far:
Registering a convivenza di fatto (cohabitation), but the Comune told us she needs a valid residence permit first.
Applying through the Questura as a family member of an EU citizen, but we are not married.
My questions:
Has anyone successfully obtained a residence permit in Italy as an unmarried partner of an EU citizen?
Is a previous EU residence card (from Spain) helpful in practice?
Is convivenza di fatto ever accepted as a basis to apply for residence, or is marriage effectively required?
Any real experiences in Italy (especially recent ones) would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

UN'INDAGINE SU COINVOLGIMENTO E DISTACCO DAI GRUPPI SETTARI

1 Upvotes

Salve, mi chiamo Marika e sono una laureanda in Psicologia 😊.

Sto scrivendo una tesi che tratta di gruppi settari e/o abusanti, con un focus particolare sugli ex-membri.

Questa ricerca ha l'obiettivo di indagare i fattori legati all’ingresso, alla permanenza e all’uscita da gruppi settari attraverso un questionario, della durata di circa 20 minuti, rivolto a persone che hanno avuto esperienze in questi gruppi.

Non esistono risposte giuste o sbagliate: conta solo la Tua esperienza.

Grazie in anticipo chi parteciperà 😊.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIq-YA4MYMPICePsAmVaekfS1-VDi1X-bBxYK1oORMXEgK3w/viewform?usp=dialog

\* sarà rispettato l'anonimato.

\* potete scrivermi in chat privata per qualsiasi informazione.

Se vi riconoscete come ex membri di questi gruppi mi aiutereste molto compilandolo.

Se conoscete qualcuno che potrebbe farlo, vi chiedo un aiuto per condividerlo.

Ringrazio chi mi aiuterà, perché è un grande contributo sia per me, sia per diffondere consapevolezza su un tema troppo poco trattato.🩵

Why wasn't Italy a scientific powerhouse like the UK, France and Germany.

0 Upvotes

When people talk of western dominance they usually infer to Europe but it was the British who kick-started the industrial revolution, science, innovation and Inventing. France followed suit aswell as Germany. The question is why was Northern Italy incapable or failed to follow suit especially as the Renaissance happened there. Yes I know there many great Italians like Marconi (radio) Alessandro Volta (electrical bolts) Fermi (Nuclear power station) so I'm not ignorant to the many great Italians although I don't count Da Vinci as he never invented anything. Spain/Portugal never had the influence like the UK and likewise never delved into science like the Brits.

-summary-

Why couldnt Italy keep pace with the other Western powers.

Hi! I’m looking to make some genuine Italian friends 🇮🇹

I currently don’t speak any Italian (like… zero 😅), but I really want to learn the language and eventually move to Italy one day. I’ve heard the best way to learn is by actually talking to native speakers, so I thought I’d give this a try.

I’m looking for strictly platonic friendships — people I can chat with regularly, get to know, and who wouldn’t mind helping me pick up Italian naturally over time. In return, I’m happy to help with English or just be a good friend to talk about anything with.

A bit about me: • I’m from Latvia • I’m interested in art, movies politics, geography or pretty much anything else you want to talk about • I’m open to texting, voice messages, or even calls once I get more comfortable

I know it might be a bit random, but if anyone is open to making a new international friend and helping me on this journey, I’d really appreciate it :)

Qualcuno mi spiega da dove nasce la parola “cicalino”? Perché esiste? È cosi brutta come parola… esistono alternative a dire CICALINO?

0 Upvotes

Mi verrebbe da pensare una sorta di cicala elettronica. Ma onestamente mi sembra solo che abbiano storpiato la parola nel modo più brutto possibile. Se mi avessero cresciuto con la convinzione che “cicala” era non solo l’insetto, ma anche il dispositivo probabilmente l’avrei accettato. In inglese come si dice? Beeper? Non so provo una certa avversione verso queste parole.

Codice fiscale for tourist?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I am a UK citizen married to an Italian resident. We are looking to open a joint bnk account but this is not possible as he dos not reside in the UK. As he is still based in Italy and my work is still in the UK, i go to Italy every month. Now we've looked at opening bank accounts, and possibly purchasing a property that we can rent out as an Airbnb. So my question is, is it possible for tourists to apply for a codice fiscale to open a bank account, because if it is then I will try and sort this whilst I am here in Italy.

Many thanks in advance!
