It never had 4 seasons except in the mountains of the nothing
Vivaldi would be disappointed.
‘Italy no longer has four seasons’
Most countries I know of don’t have 4 seasons during the summer.
I thought they were from Joisey.
I was in Venice in July 1998.
It was like Tucson, but humid. Impossible to go outdoors. And it was 112 in Athens, same time.
NOBODY in NJ says “Joisey.” Only people in Bowery Boys films and that accent has died even on NY.
The headline makes no sense. Summer is the hot season--especially in a country nicknamed "Sunny Italy."
The sky is falling!!!
The high temperature today in Rome was 92. The normal high on July 15th is 88.
Isn’t the southern 2/3 basically Florida/Arizona/California weather?
It is said that English teachers in Brooklyn would post signs in their classrooms reading, "there's no joy in Jersey."
They say Jerrsaey
Chicago’s Spring is one week between Winter and Summer. Do we still qualify as having four seasons?
Historically the furthest north you could successfully grow olives was Pisa in Italy. Has that changed yet? I doubt it.
I lived in Italy. This is normal - they pretty much close the country down in August to take vacation.
I was in Italy in the summer of 1966. The weather was similar to that of Southern California, but more humid.
I don’t know…I was in Chicago for nearly a week toward the end of June, and it felt like Spring compared to where I live! The nights were so much more pleasant than here in the Southeast.
It’s F’ing July…
I lived in Naples (Pozzuoli) for three years when I was a “tween.” This was back in the days when they were talking about the coming ice age.
There were pretty much three seasons then. Winter, such as it was, was brief and almost non-existent.
Spring, summer and fall were delightful.
