Welcome from another European member. I'm glad to see that we get more and more southern European members every week.

How come, sounds good enough to me. Italians have compulsory English, so I don't see why this would be a problem, you must've been learning eng for quite some while. Or am I wrong?

See...
You are one of only maybe 3 or 4 countries in this world not affiliated with UK (former or present day colony...) that actually has compulsory English, very modern, very effective. Add to that also Russian and Europe-wise, you are ultimately doomed to succes.

Welcome to the forum! Sicily is a beautiful place and definitely warm enough to grow some very nice banana plants! I also think you write English very well!
Looking forward to hearing from you on the forum!!

Welcome. Some day I hope to go to Sicily to go see the huge chestnut tree on Mount Etna. I grow chestnuts on my farm in California.

The huge chestnut is named "Castagno dei cento cavalli" - "chestnut of a hundred horses".
The legend says that a hundred horsemen with their horses found protection under the big tree during a storm.
In this moment the circumference of the trunk is 22 meters.
The tree is approximately 4000 to 2000 year old.
