Tuesday, July 28th;
I guess I’ll contribute this blog to our friend Giulio.
He was definitely our favorite! Although he started off as the quietest one out of the boys, he quickly became the most adorable one. Giulio is studying to be an engineer, and spent most of his nights at la Residence Rubbatino in the study room, studying for an physics exam that apparently only 19 out of 50 students pass. Nevertheless, Giulio made the time for us girls by going out to buy popsicles when WE were studying, took us out to the club just because it was our first week in Italy, volunteered to translate some Italian research about Donatello for my paper, and came to offer me cookies at 2am while I was studying.
On TOP of all of that, for our last outing together, Giulio took all of us girls out and paid for our gelato. A true gentleman; certainly not like the grimy dudes we always see at the clubs. We’ll miss him terribly, and can’t wait to visit the southern region - where the REAL Italy is. Giulio said that we are always welcome in his home, as he lives about a 10 minute train ride away from the beautiful beach of Tropea. Reciprocally, the girls let him know that for his first trip to the United States, we will definitely show him a good, American time!
Ciao Giulio!
