It is always a welcome sign when I saunter off the airplane in Italy, jetlagged and bedraggled, and I am greeted by the sound of a lyrical "Buon Giorno" and the smell of freshly pulled espresso from the bar just out of sight. The other signs I love are the signs themselves.
And what I love the most are the signs that are reminders of Italy's ancient history and gastronomic gustoso.
So, whenever you are in Italy and feel lost, just look up and you will find your way. Aperitivo, pranzo or just a simple caffe espresso at the bar. Buon appetito!

It was great to meet you in Arezzo.
The bread at Forno was all you described below.
The signs in Italy are the perfect welcome.
I hope your trip was a beautiful mix of Italian life.
