On a recent trip to Australia I saw two Italian ladies in the hotel lobby - they were heading out into the Australian heat from the cold air conditioned lobby - quite a temperature change. They didn't seem to be worried about it despite having wet hair. I doubt they would have dared to do the same thing here in Italy. <br />When my Italian friends warn me about the Colpo d'Aria, I just laugh and say that I am not Italian and therefore an immune to it. Cue blank stares.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673120805409002814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617954707278289869.post-54700394854656274482013-05-12T23:08:20.564+02:002013-05-12T23:08:20.564+02:00I'm on your side, Christine! All those things ...I'm on your side, Christine! All those things we in America have been taught are "old wives tales" are alive and well in Italy. My husband and I laught at the Italians wearing heavy clothing in spring when we are stifling in a light sweater. We joke that Italians dress according to the calendar not the actual weather. Heaven forbid one should be in shirt sleeves before June 1. Glad to hear you are feeling better and brace free!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
