I haven\u2019t yet found a spot there &#8211; I haven\u2019t made a decision exactly what I\u2019m going to do &#8211; but I am lacking in the lingo [language] area. So that\u2019s still something I\u2019m thinking about. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But I love going to Maranello. The more I see of Italy, the more I fall in love with the place &#8211; with the culture, with the buildings, the architecture.
