|
|
| I'm italian and I've been hosted for a month by an Irish family last summer. Now I'm doing my exams, but I would like to come and see them, probably next year, however, I would like to take them some gifts from Italy...If you were a nice, friendly, very kind couple of sixty year olders, what would you like to receive? (I was thinking about a couple of bottles of italian red wine...but what else?) |

| I visited Italy a little while back (honeymoon in Gubbio - lovely people, by the way) - if I could get them to send me a box of something, it would be the dried porcini mushrooms. They're lovely.Buying them here would cost an arm and a leg - but I remember them being fairly cheap over there... |

| I like the little shops in Venice and I know when I visited Italy everyone loved my presents from those kind of shops so I would perhaps get them a couple of glass ornaments along with the wine. |

| Some merino glass, a mask from Venice, some preserves, natural olive oil, wine from your region, some Italian music or a small painting from your home town. An invite back to your own home might be nice too. |

| Chances are they are Catholic, so maybe some nice souvenirs from the Vatican or a book on the Pope or Rosary beads blessed by the Pope |

| I'm pretty sure you can't take foodstuffs in.The wine would be good.Something handmade from your locality too.Enjoy your stay. |

| Wine and chocolates/treats usually do the trick....maybe some pottery of some kind that is particularly italian but not too precious. |
