EP8: Living in Italy, Playing Country Music, and Figuring it All Out

from The Anthony in Italy Podcast · host Anthony Calvanese

Nate and I sat down for one of those meandering, no-rush conversations about what it’s actually like to live in Italy—not the Instagram version, but the messy, funny, frustrating, sometimes absurd day-to-day stuff. We talked about learning Italian (and butchering it along the way), the oddities of dining out, what it means to be a musician here, and how different the cultural wiring is compared to the U.S. There’s beer. There’s music. There are stories about language mishaps, the real cost of living abroad, and the weird, wonderful way Italy gets under your skin. If you’ve ever thought about moving here—or just want to know what it’s like beyond the vacation glow—this one’s for you.Nate on Instagram: @bozemanateNate’s band: Kantner Brothers📍 Mentioned in the episode:Snack Bar Anna:https://share.google/N7VtUPbHbjDn8Vx02Books that helped with Italian:Italian for Dummies: https://amzn.to/3LgyMWi501 Italian Verbs: https://amzn.to/3JqV7Qq
