LIFE IS A PIAZZA - for Italians, la piazza serves as a punto d'incontro- a meeting place - for dinner plans, drinks, people-watching,catching up with friends and, as Romans would say, exchanging due chiacchiere (two words). As dinner approaches at 9, the big question is : Are you "in" or "out"(inside table or outside table). No matter: the people watching is unrivaled anywhere you sit.
Amazing!!! I hope you are having so much fun!!!
