Whenever I am in Italy I have a penchant for staying in tiny towns. Inevitably, after seeing me for several days, because I also stay at least a month in each place, a shopkeeper, a barista, or some other local resident will ask me two questions, in this order: 

Da dove vieni? (Where do you come from?) and Perché stai qui? (Why are you staying here?). After I respond, my interlocutor will always then say: Ma qui non c’è niente! (But there is nothing here!). trip Italy
