A Day in the Life of an Italian Student: Food, School and Future Dreams

It's very close to the city center, but just outside of the walls of Siena.

What chores do you have at home?:

I can wash the dishes. 

*Piero, his older brother, jumped into the interview here to roll his eyes and say that his brother really does not do a lot of chores...

What jobs do your parents have?:

My dad owns and works in a Pizzeria that my family owns. My mom also works on in the Pizzera, and also around the house! My brother... hmm... he does something.

*Piero is a chef and also studies economics in university. He works as an English teacher at a school where he also assists and leads cooking lessons.

What time does school start, and what time do you go home?:

School starts at 8 am, and ends at 2 pm. After school we go home to have lunch.

How do you get to school? Are you allowed to go to school by yourself?:

Since I live only about a three minute walk from school, I usually wait for my friends in the morning and we walk to school together. 

Where do you eat lunch? What is your favorite food?:

We do not having a dining hall at school, and instead go home to eat lunch. My favorite food is probably pizza-either plain cheese, which we call margherita or pizza with tuna on it. I also really like rice.

What language do you speak at school? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

In school we speak Italian. However, I will speak in English or Spanish during my English and Spanish classes.

To say "hello" it depends on who you are talking to. If I am talking to a friend, I say "ciao".
