Book excerpt: Are you looking for a lesson in language and in life? If the answer is yes, look no further. Luckily for us, Italians have gifted the globe with their many contributions in the realms of art, opera, cinema, pizza—the list is endless. Although, one area which is often overlooked is the Italian gift of the gab. The greatest gift of them all. Italians possess a bevy of phrases to get you through all of life’s phases. So, if you want to change your life, it’s simple. All you must change is your vocabulary. Living The Lingo of Linguine will provide you with some of Italy’s wisest words, expressions, and proverbs. It will strike up a conversation of cultural comparison and translate these words, not only into English but into a carefully curated way of life. You are welcomed to embrace this language of longevity. To value a vernacular which will raise your vibration. To proudly pronounce an existence of peace and positivity. And to dive into a dialogue like no other.
