Language is wine upon the lips-Virginia Woolf
If language is wine upon the lips, then the Italian language will make us dizzy, happy, dancing and drunk. It's a language that can speak in silence, where hands become words, eyes a punctuation and a stance a statement. It's a language that vowels dominate and music accompanies. It's a language with a melody. It's the language of lovers, of artists, dukes, dictators, poets and the prolific. It's a language born by an empire and refined by an epic exile--Augustus to Dante's Divine Comedy. It's a language with a dialect for every region, province, city and town. Like its country, it is chaotic, romantic, frenetic, peaceful, operatic, bold, soft and sweet. Italian, simply stated, is beautiful!
