What is the source of your interest in Italy?
My main interest in Italy comes from my family. My mother's side of the family is Italian. Unfortunately, the last person in the family that could speak the language was my great grandmother who recently passed away in 2009 after turning 100 years old.
Also, Italy is one of my top places to travel to if I ever get the chance.
