| Stefano eating Tapas |
The two Italians I live with are Rocco, da Roma, and Stefano, da Firenze. Rocco is a comedy in himself. I would put money on saying that he talks all waking hours of the day; he simply does not stop! In a good way, of course! He is pure entertainment. An interesting fact about Rocco is that, on becoming friends on Facebook, we noticed that we have a friend in common. It is Tom Mercer, a friend from home. On Tom’s student exchange to Copenhagen last year, he befriended an Italian Ilaria from Rome, also on exchange. A friend of hers, Rocco, went to visit during her semester over there. Rocco meets Tom. Tom goes to Rome and spends a few days scooting around the city with Rocco and Rocco’s motorbike. It was pretty nuts finding that out :)

Stefano is our Benigni. He looks and gesticulates like the actor, or at least like the typical character the actor plays in his films. They are both short, thin and have curly brown hair. They both have the same shaped face. They are both from Firenze!

| Los compañeros de piso :) |
Many funny episodes have happened with them. Something I will never forget is one night when I stayed at home and the boys went out. I woke up to the sound of them coming home, but went straight back to sleep. A little while later, I heard their voices coming from the living room… they were talking about Spanish grammar… in Spanish. I thought that was odd and convinced myself I was dreaming. Again I woke up, this time hearing more than just two voices. I decided to prove that I was dreaming, and went out into the living room. There were five guys sitting on our couches: Rocco, Stefano, Aldo (a friend of ours) and two other guys that I had never met before. They were introduced as Alejandro and Jaime, both from Murcia. I burst out laughing at the sight! It was a Tuesday morning and it turned out to be 7:30am and they were indeed discussing Spanish grammar :)
