"The entire Italian population is not sipping spritzes all day." welllll.... *italian hand gestures* spritz might be a sign of recession since it's an affordable treat. labubu whooo?!
I like how clearly your passion shines through here! My favorite lines: "An espresso will not solve my problems …. [but] During those five minutes at the bar, we can breathe." I think most people can identify with that! As I keep coming back to in my own posts, there are many Italian rituals that speak to me. That's another of them.
I'm not that much of a beach person. I grew up near the beaches in South Florida and spent summers as a kid in the Caribbean. I go to the seaside once or twice a summer but generally prefer my summer escapes near cool mountain lakes. But reading what you wrote made me want to grab my things and get some sand between my toes.

Grazie per il post!
Well, a boy can dream. Glad it resonated. I feel you in the allure of mountain lakes too. Pure freshness.
