It’s Valentine’s day and there’s no better language than Italian to express love, passion, and romance.
It doesn’t matter who you are, you will steal the heart of anybody by whispering some Italian paroline dolci (sweet nothings) in their ear.
From the ever-charming “ti amo” (I love you) to the luscious “amore mio” (my love), I dare you not to succumb to the musicality of this language.
Even the most passionate storia d’amore (love-story) of all times, Romeo and Giulietta, has an Italian vibe since it’s set in Verona.
Need I say more?
