Two thirds of Brits want 'to be more Italian' - we can understand that

So despite Brexit, FIAT are helping to remind Brits what they’re missing - and we fully support it!

A recent poll conducted by FIAT showed that two thirds of British adults want to ‘be more Italian’ in their approach to life, and to adopt that much sought-after essence of the slower pace of Italian life - La Dolce Vita.

FIAT have helpfully compiled their own 'La Dolce Vita Guide’ with 35 tips on Brits can be more Italian, from tips on what to wear to how to take your coffee.

But why just try to recreate Italy in the UK when Piemonte is just a 90-minute flight away? Come and experience the real Italy and immerse yourself, first-hand, into an Italian region not over-run by tourists and where the pace of life is slower, natural, and always just a little bit stylish.

So, for anyone out there, and not just the Brits, who wants to adopt a little Italian style into their lives or plan for a holiday or potential move here, we highly recommend the following guides too:

The Monocle Book of Italy

More than a coffee table book, as usual the beautifully crafted guides created by The Monocle team have packed so much hidden knowledge, advice and ‘in-the-know’ tips on how to get the best of your visit, or life, in Italy.

But remember, the guides and the lifestyle from afar can seem idyllic, especially from a rainy London in February. As I’ve said before, it’s not all sunshine and aperitivo, but I wouldn’t be anywhere else.
