Sat beside a Sicilian on the plane to Rome and he gave me a few basic words such as Per Favore = Please. Grazie = Thanks. Buon Giorno = Good Day. Ciao = How are you.
Bonne Sera = Good Evening. Arrivederci = Goodbye. Si = Yes. Dove = where ?
Quanto = How much ? and the best one of all Bollire = boiling. If you want to get a decent cup of tea in Italy you will need Bollire water. All the hot water we got in Italy I was able to stick my finger in it and I'm no James Bond.
