When I was in college, I did the Eurail pass tour of a few European countries. I ended up in north-west Italy for a few days, and I stayed with friends of friends. The Italian family had a title, and their home was a small, utterly charming palazzo. 15th Century, and they had lived there since the 16th. Wow! For this American girl, that was really impressive. They cooked with olive oil that came from their own farm in the country.
