“I would like to live in Rome or maybe in Naples. It’s my dream: to find my Italian identity. I am a quarter of an Italian, my grandmother was born in Venice. Her name was Anna Bassi “. Rachel Weisz, British actress starring in “The Mummy” and “Youth” writes this in a “love letter dedicated to Italy” published in the latest special issue of Vanity Farir. “We have been spending our vacation in Italy every year for two weeks, I could see my father reaching the peak of his happiness, speaking in Italian. I don’t want to idealize an entire nation, but I really have the feeling that Italians know how being alive. They have a certain sense of humor mixed with a passionate humanity that many other cultures have forgotten or have never learned “.
