  We are a very united family of 4 people. Beginning with me: my name is Lorenzo (51) I’m from Milan and I’m easygoing. I work in advertising and I teach at the university. Erica (47) is loving and caring. She organizes everything for everybody. She works in advertising too. Sebastiano is 12 years old and is a very sweet boy. Good and funny he always behaves very well.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The atmosphere in our family is informal, relaxed and creative. Living with us can be a fun and good opportunity to learn Italian. Rome is an incredible city, every day can be a discovery and a lifetime isn't enough to visit the whole city. By living with us, they will have the chance to enjoy a more modern Rome but still living very close to the ancient one.

In the morning, if she likes, she could attend Italian classes. From 3 pm to 7 pm she will be busy with the children. According to the day she will need to pick them up at school, take them to their afternoon activities (football and dancing class on Monday, drawing classes on Thursday), play with them, make them do their homework and prepare them for dinner.
