Dreaming of speaking Italian like a local? Start here — from a little kitchen in Piemonte.
In this week’s newsletter, I take you with me to Govone, my tiny hometown tucked among the hills of Piedmont, where jasmine scents the air, nonna cooks every night, and even my Aussie husband is learning how to order a cappuccino in Italian.
You’ll hear about life in a real Italian village — the kind where nobody switches to English and every meal is a memory. It’s a chance to learn authentic, emotional Italian, the way it’s really spoken at home.
