Italian spring is like Swedish summer

Bild
One big difference between Sweden and Italy is the seasons. I love being down in Italy in Spring and Autumn because then  it feels like a colder Swedish summer. In April in Sweden I could never walk in my t-shirt like I do in April in Gorizia situated in the region of  Friulia Venezia Giulia in Italy. Not too war or too cold. Perfect weather for long hikes in the cities. Becuase in the summer the Italian cities are usually to warm.

Italian pizza

Pizza in Sweden? Very Italian? No, barely. As shown in the picture below that pizza place has no knowledge of Italian. The correct spelling would have been Porto bello. So what are the main differences between pizza in Italy and Sweden? Let us start with the ingredients. In Italy Mozarella is the king when it comes to cheese on pizza. While in Sweden Mozarella you only get it on some kind of special pizza. For Sweden the commonly used cheese is called, the cheapest cheese you can find. This is very common for all ingredients for pizza in Sweden. Cheap. In Italy most of the pizzas are made by Italians while in Sweden most of the pizzas are made by people from the Middle East. In Italy a good Pizza is affordable while in Sweden a good Italian pizza is quite expensive.

Sitting

In Sweden in public places if people sit down they sit on chair, bench or on a lawn. In Italy people sit down everywhere. People can sit right on the town square and this is something you don't see in Sweden. And if people do that in Sweden the police would come by and ask if everything is all right.
