It surprised me that Italy is more in the north of the US than in the south. Also how small Italy is / how big the USA is. I guess this explains why they say: Americans don’t know what old is, Europeans don’t know what far is!
It’s quality, not quantity 😉
This is quite interesting indeed.
Now for some reason i’m thinking about that saying, “in Europe 100 miles is a long way, in the US 100 years is a long time”…
