Hello, I would like to say that while the writer can oversimplify certain aspects of moving abroad, the author does a good job of providing the support and encouragement needed for such a venture. I have just obtained my own Italian citizenship, and it is soley due to the fact that my GRANDFATHER was born in Italy (just as the author states). It did take over a year to obtain it however. Also, as for needing a light jacket in Rome, that is all I need when I am there, however, I have a little meat on my bones so I dont need too much insulation. Remember to take everything you hear with a grain of salt...and for extra encourage...go rent the movie "under the Tuscan Sun". Good luck to you, as for me, I'm working on relocating to Puglia Italia!
