Buon giorno

Good morning/afternoon/evening

My name is Giovanni, I'm 34 years old, and live in Italy. I am here with the intention of improving my English. I am not much of a writer but I think being a part of this community will greatly improve it. What else about me? I'm more or less in a relationship, I enjoy all kinds of things, and was at one point an associate professor of history, but am currently unemployed. I hope to get to know all of you better and look forward to reading and participating in this community.

Giovanni

Howdy Giovanni.

Your English seems very good already, but we'll do our best to help you improve it.

Welcome to the forums

Hi Giovanni. I also don't think your english needs much work & look forward to seeing what comes from you. Maybe some historical fiction or even non-fiction? We'll certainly help along the way.

Good to see you on & welcome!

I was born, raised, and lived most of my life in Salerno, which is a bit south of Napoli. However, I recently moved to Ancona, which is quite a bit north of Rome, and on the east coast of Italy
