How to Fight Like an Italian

August 16, 2017 by Devon

How to fight like an Italian

She used to terrify me.

Back in Rome (2005) this woman was my boss and I thought she was crazy.

Every morning I woke up to her upset in the kitchen.

I lived in a small adjoining room because I was her kids’ nanny.

When I decided to quit we had a blowout.

A blend of Italian and English issued from both of our mouths, tears were flying and moments later, I was texting friends looking for a new place to stay.

Later that night when I came home to collect my things, she had bought me fagiolini (Italian green beans); my favorite.

Everything for dinner that night was my favorite…pesto sauce, shaved beef… it was her way of building a bridge.
What I discovered is that Italians fight, but the best fights are reserved for those you love.

So here we are ten years later on the back of her scooter.  And I am happy to report that she’s no longer upset and I am no longer terrified.

Do you think fights can be a sign of love or is that totally bananas?
