I met my wife in Rome.
In Italy, I learned the art of slow living.

10 ideas for a balanced life:
Passeggiata:
A leisurely stroll in the evening.
On weekdays, it's a time for socialization before dinner.
The phrase reminds me of my grandmother and grandfather, who took a stroll every night around dusk.

Dolce far niente:
"Sweet doing nothing."
Dolce far niente is the essence of doing nothing and enjoying it.
Pleasant idleness.
Watching time go by and enjoying every second in peace.

Meriggiare:
Meriggio means "noon," and meriggiare represents a midday rest.
Utilized in poetry, meriggiare is like a nap under a shady tree.
An enjoyed afternoon.

Che sarĂ sarĂ :
"What will be, will be."
In other words, whatever happens, happens.
A philosophy of predetermination—acceptance of the future.
Don't worry about things you can't control.

Lo struscio:
Lo struscio is a lifestyle where we put worries aside and take things slow.
Whether it's a stroll with a neighbor or a glass of wine at the end of the day.
Lo struscio means shuffling feet—it's at the center of Italy's appreciation for slow-living.

Cum Romanus Eris:
The idea dates back to 396 AD.
You can find this idiom—"when in Rome, do as the Romans do"—in the letters of Pope Clement XIV.
"An afternoon nap would not alarm you if you remembered we are in Rome and should do as the Romans do."

Mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto:
Eat well, laugh often, love much.
It might not be a phrase you hear often, but it's a cornerstone of Italian life.
A reminder of what's important.
It's an Italian version of mindfulness.

Sprezzatura:
A certain nonchalance to make life appear effortless.
Studied carelessness.
Depicted from how Italian men and women dress, or how one enjoys fine art and good literature.
Sophistication without trying.

A tavola non si invecchia:
"At the table, you don’t get old."
When we eat a meal, we're surrounded by family, which is the foundation of our existence.
Treat everyone with respect—from grandparents to siblings.
Age is just a number.

A ogni uccello il suo nido è bello:
Every bird has a nest, or there's no place like home.
Used when one returns home from a long journey.
Home is where the heart is.
