All these hair and weird foreign Doritos in your food. Happy to say I haven’t got it

Thank you all for your comments on my last two posts (now deleted)

My weird and sticky situation as a 17 year old actually ended up being quite straightforward. So when I’m 18 I’ve decided to apply for Italian citizenship via jure sanguinis

My biological grandparents and mother being born in Italy apparently makes me right on the cuff. So in the meantime I’ll be trying to teach myself Italian

Excited! Thanks all

Nasty. Just gave it to my sister. She now owes me $5

Ciao e buon pomeriggio splendide persone!

Me and my twin brother (both now 17 years old) are planning a trip to Italy after finding out we're Italian this year where we also found out our biological family is Southern Italian.

We're both looking forward to hopefully becoming citzens of Italy and have started learning Italian and are very excited to finally visit for the first time. Hopefully soon.

I'm just wondering if there are specific things we should expect when visiting, and whether there are some beautiful Southern Italian restaurants, hotels, attractions etc to see (given that's where our heritage originates)

For perspective, we're both Canadian and have not travelled outside of Canada except visiting the States.

Thanks so much!

Originally thought the “e-transfer was deposited” message was a scam so I sent laughing emojis.

But apparently that was a legit bank confirmation message because I have the money in my account now

It’s for “commodore ballroom” which is some place in Vancouver. I live in Ontario

What do I do?

There’s a name on it but I looked him up and no one comes up

Is this a scam??

Thanks!

So I’m 17 years old, and just recently found out I’m Italian after finding out I was adopted.

I’m very sentimental and interested in heritage so this got me interested in Italy.

However, I’m not sure if it’s smart to apply for citizenship myself (next year would be when I would do it) given I’m Canadian, and also me not knowing whether my biological parents had citizenship etc (which would be a massive process).

Also, I was thinking. I don’t speak Italian, I’m not familiar with Italian culture, and really the only driver of my want for this would be emotional/heritage.

If needed, I’d learn Italian.

But curious whether the pros outweigh the cons. And whether it’s smart or not to allow my emotions to take control of what might be a years long process

It’s interesting because I’m very proud that I’m Italian now, because I love Italy and Italian culture.

But as a person I consider myself Canadian, and (here’s my thought process) if the time ever came to go to war and I had to pick between two passports, I would choose to die for Canada ten times before I thought about Italy.

I feel I already know the answer to this. But would appreciate some extra perspective/insight.

Thanks

Ok, so maybe this is the wrong sub. But I’m trying it anyway.

I just turned 17 and got my G2, and my car will be on the road in a day or two.

I’m on a mission to drive wherever to get my hands on the most beautiful and delicious and poutines possible in all of the land.

I live in Ontario for context.

I’m also more than happy to drive to Quebec if needed

At the very least just Alfa Romeo. Then they could have Ferrari as the high end division, and Alfa as the commerical-oriented division.

Stellantis is a joke of a company, and Ferrari has the money to support (dare I say even grow) these other Italian brands in desperate need of rejuvenation

The company also lost $25b last year, and only made $400 million in the first quarter (~$1.6b per year) so...

Long story short, I’m pissed I didn’t see it in theatres. Goddamn that was an amazing movie. The last 10 minutes was insane.

10/10 awesome
