Email from Alberto Rolando from Italy
Hi Craig, Hi Reza,
First of all I’d like to congratulate you for your podcast. I’m not Spanish, I’m Italian, but I have started to listen to you some months ago, maybe December 2017. I really appreciate you and your work, it helps me to practice my…poor English, while commuting (is it correct?) or driving, or taking the dog for a walk….etc
You are really professional and the episodes are always interesting and also fun.
I’d ask you something about my country and I’m especially interested in the opinion abroad about our politics, our society, and so on.
Thank you very much again,
Alberto

Architecture – Roman remains, many famous buildings: the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, St. Mark’s Basilica, etc.
Politics – Stereotypically corrupt and unstable – is it true?
The Mafia – a cliché but it exists for real

…and now it’s your turn to practise your English.
