The first things I learned about Italy were from daily life. Pants, socks, napkins, sheets… everything is pressed. The way the marble floors are polished. A way of talking that says, “No matter what, I’m here to have a good time!”

-Megumi Kido, “Recipe For Slow Living, Straight From Italians

私がまずイタリアの生活で覚えたこと。
パンツ、靴下、ナプキン、シーツ…
全ての物にするアイロンがけ。大理石床の磨き方。
いつでもどこでも楽しもう、という会話術。
