Dream Italian? Think Italian. Be Italian! ~ Is Italy on Your Places To Go Bucket List?

Still continuing to dream my impossible dream. This blog post - Dream Italian? Think Italian. Be Italian! - (1st published in 2015) enjoys popularity, no matter where it is shared. That lets me know there are lots of people who probably dream of vacationing or even living in Italy.

Assuming that's true, I decided to go a 2nd time around and supplement the content for my original post with some additional information found at the HubPages writing community.  Currently, my writer's profile shows 20 HUBs (or articles). However, the only one that comes close to the topic of Italy is the one titled The Seven Kings of Rome


Here are some suggested reads published by my fellow HUBBERs that you are sure to enjoy.
Travel to Italy with them!
