Every time I’ve been to Italy in the summer, north or south, everyone is in summer uniform. Same in Greece, but obviously the Italian version was fancier.

Unless… Are you an 80 year old man wearing polyester and wool and a vest and a hat in August on the farm?

Seriously, though, any search online for summer Italian wear is usual light clothing.

This is only how a cold weather person thinks about heat. That’s not how real life works.

One light layer of linen is amazing. Your body does the work on its own. Touregs in the Sahara wear a light layer of light fabric. Look at Saudis and the traditional outfit. Italy in the summer. All similar. All perfectly comfortable.

Not at all.

I’m saying don’t over think it.

You’ve never seen a pizza with corn and chick peas on it.

Some crimes go unreported.

Y’all, it’s just a cool thing, and a status symbol.

You’re really going to tell me that a species that has/had things like decorative paper weights, necklaces, rings, statues, fidget spinners, funko pop figures, and little tiny versions of buildings you flew 8 hours to see for sale near the actual building isn’t going to be the same one that in ancient times, was all over a little bronze thing that looks objectively cool once some metal worker figures out how to make one?

It’s like none of you have ever met a human before. It doesn’t have to do anything. That’s the point.

I once met a woman that was in her late 20s. Worked in tech for 3 years in Prague, and had a pretty TV style British accent.

She was from the Midwest. Spent 3 years in Prague and visited the UK like 3 times, then moved back to Chicago. Insisted she “worked with a lot of Brits and it just stuck.”

Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.
