Daily Life of Francesco

Introduction:

Francesco is one of the Italian friends I made here in Rome. I met him one day when I decided to try out a salumeria (salame shop) for lunch. Francesco gave me free ricotta cheese with honey and walnuts and I kept coming back! Some weeks, we talked almost every day and he always put a smile on my face. It was really nice to have someone with whom I could speak in Italian.
