If you think you can come to Italy and keep your waistline intact, you are sorely mistaken – for there is no such thing as being on a diet in this country.

Se si viene a New York, ci si accorge che il mondo è davvero piccolo e che la presenza di italiani è davvero così massiccia, come si ha modo di leggere se si approfondisce l'argomento. Aziende italiane, turisti, italoamericani che seppure sia passato diverso tempo da quando i nonni approdarono negli USA, rimangono fedeli a quell'Italian Style lasci...
