Hi and thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
Middle school, which in Italy means 11 to 13 years old!
I'm not a football fan so the World Cup is not a big deal to me personally. I'm not from Naples so I don't have the same attachment to Maradona that Neapolitans have, but lots of them were really glad about Argentina's victory for that reason.
As for cars, I don't see the need to feel competitive about that. We have our own good car industry, they have theirs, and good for them if it's better!
Every country is best at something. Italy has its own specialties. There's no need to be the best at everything in order to be good.
As for Alitalia, they closed the business in 2021. Our new national airline is Ita Airways.
