Hello, I?m Petra and I was born in New York. My mom is Danish and my dad is Italian. The hardest part about leaving Italy was leaving my friends back home, but I go back to my home country almost every summer. My favorite thing to do in Italy is to go shopping. I really miss the architecture back home. My favorite food from my home country is of course pasta "bolognaise.? My favorite holiday is

Christmas. My favorite thing about l iving in Denmark is that I can visit my lovely family more often. The biggest dif ference between Denmark and Italy is the weather because it is really warm in Italy but pretty rainy and cold in Denmark.

This is Michele. He is from Italy and he was born in Poland. The hardest part about moving to Denmark was losing friends. From his home country, he misses the culture because it is dif ferent in Denmark. Michele goes to his home country twice a year, his favourite thing to do there is to hang out with his grandparents and cousins. His favourite food from his country is lasagna. His favourite holiday is Easter. Michele?s favourite part about l iving in Denmark is that it is not dangerous, you can go outside and do pretty much whatever you want. The dif ferences and the similarit ies between Denmark and Michele?s home country is the language and the similarity is that they are both in Europe.

Michele

EmmaThis is Emma. She is from Florence, Italy; and Copenhagen, Denmark. She was born in Singapore. She misses her family. She goes back to Italy every summer. Her favourite thing to do in Italy is to go into the city and visit historical places. Her favourite food is pizza and her favourite festival is called La Befana.  La Befana is a festival after Christmas where a witch comes and gives you presents. A phrase in Italian is ?ciao mi chiamo? which means ?hey my name is?. The hardest part of moving to Denmark was having to leave her friends. Her favourite part of l iving in Denmark is that she has some of her family members here. Something that is dif ferent between Italy and Denmark is that it is a lot colder here. She likes both places the same. She wants to stay in Denmark because of the friends that she made.

Meet a CIS Family

Buongiorno! We are Simona and Filippo, parents of Andrea and Luca who are now in 6th grade. We are Italians and moved to Denmark a year ago. We also have a litt le baby girl, Caterina, aged 11 months. We lived in Rome before moving to Copenhagen even though we are originally from Napoli, a wonderful city by the sea in Southern Italy. We like living in Denmark, Copenhagen is a

nice city, well organized and neat. 

When we moved we were impressed by the fact that everyone speaks English and that bureaucracy is much less of a problem here compared to our home country.

We miss Italy, though, mostly our friends, our family and -of course- the nice weather and the food! We go back to Rome quite often and enjoy it a lot. Rome is quite chaotic compared to Copenhagen, but it 's a beautiful place to visit and there are a lot of things to do. Whenever we go back we enjoy eating pizza and lots of gelato.

We also like eating mozzarella, fresh fruits and vegetables and we enjoy the variety of f ish you can have in our country.

I think there are many dif ferences between Italy and Denmark, maybe the most impressive is the climate, the food but also the way of l iving. In Italy we tend to be more open and have a very intense social l ife.

Ciao!

Ciao, siamo Maura e Pino, i genitori di Emanuela e Laura. Io sono nata a Roma e mio marito in n piccolo paese in Basilicata, nel sud Italia. Ci siamo trasferit i a Copenaghen nel giugno 2013 e siamo stati così fortunati da avere un'estate molto calda e soleggiata, così abbiamo potuto goderci tutti i meravigliosi parchi e parcogiochi di questa città amica dei bambini: picnic, gite in bicicletta e visite dei castell i! :-) Qui in Danimarca la temperatura in estate non è mai troppo calda e ti puoi godere tutte le ore del giorno all 'aria aperta - a Roma può fare in caldo insopportabile! Torniamo a casa almeno due volte l 'anno per stare insieme al resto della nostre famiglia, soprattutto a Natale, la nostra festa preferita. Quel che ci manca dell ' Italia sono i soleggiati e caldi giorni invernali. Uno dei nostri piatti preferit i è "straccetti coi piselli" della nonna: striscioline di carne di manzo cotte insieme ai piselli....buon appetito!

This is Meghan. She is from England and America where she was born. However, she lived for f ive years in italy. She misses the food. She doesn't go back very often to her country because it costs a lot of money. Her favorite thing to do in Italy is shopping with her friends and sister. Her favorite food in Italy is pizza and her favorite festival is Christmas. She misses her swimming team because it was really good. The hardest part to leave in Italy was her school because she really l iked it. Her favorite part of l iving in Denmark is that it is not so dangerous. Something that is the same in both countries is that they have international people from dif ferent countries. A dif ference between her home country and Denmark is that her home country is bigger than Denmark.

Hello, we're Maura and Pino, Emanuela and Laura 's parents. I was born in Rome and my husband in a small vil lage in Basilicata, South of Italy. We moved to Copenhagen in June 2013 and we were so lucky to have a sunny and very warm summer, so we could really enjoy all the wonderful parks and playground of this child-friendly city doing picnics, biking and visit ing castles! :-) Here in Denmark the weather in summer is never too hot and you can enjoy the whole day outside - in Rome it can be unbearably hot!We go back home at least twice a year to be together with the rest of the family, above all during "Natale" = Christmas, our favourite holiday.What we miss of Italy are the warm and sunny winter days. One of our favourite food is grandmother's "Straccetti coi piselli", strips of beef meat with peas...."buon appetito"!

Meet a CIS Family

Ciao a tutti, we are Francesca and Paolo Tonon parents of Margherita (5th grade) and Camilla (1st grade). We moved to Copenhagen in January 2015 arriving from Staranzano, a small town in the north east of Italy.

We are originally from Trieste the region capital city, very close to the border with Slovenia and facing the north Adriatic sea. Margherita was born in Mantova, a city not so far away from Milano, while Camilla was born in Stord, Norway where we lived for 5 and a half years.

One thing we have always tried to do is to live close by the sea. Any place without a blue horizon nearby will be a big miss for us. Italy and Denmark are pretty dif ferent countries in terms of weather, culture and lifestyle, which means there are several things we miss from our place. At home, we are used to spending weekends by the beach, not so far away from where we live, and this can be done from April to almost beginning of October. During summer the sea is pretty warm which means we can swim for hours. It?s so normal to enjoy a full day with friends by the sea, and close a long hot day by eating pizza on the beach and get the last swim with the sunset. We have our home in Staranzano, where we have built a Nordic style design house and where we f ly any time possible so to meet our relatives and friends. While close to the sea, our place is as well only two hours? drive to the mountains and we are in reach of nice skiing tracks. None of us can be called an expert skier, but we love going down the slopes, especially Camilla who seems not to be afraid of speed.

We like living in Copenhagen because it is a capital, but it feels like it is a very small place. Living here is easy and safe. Having lived in Norway, we knew what the Scandinavian lifestyle can mean and we really appreciate it, especially considering the high focus that the Scandinavian countries have on children. We have been very surprised by the food culture we found in Copenhagen. There are so many restaurants that the choice is huge and you can really f ind whatsoever you like. As well we have enjoyed so far the amount of museums and parks the city has. We especially enjoy a Sunday bicycle ride from Hellerup where we live to the city center. It?s so nice to have this possibil ity, since in Italy the traff ic is too chaotic and there are too few bicycle lanes.

ITALIAN SHORT VERSION

Ci siamo trasferit i in Danimarca nel gennaio 2015 per motivi di lavoro. Negli anni precedenti insieme alle nostre bambine, abbiamo vissuto in Norvegia ed in Italia. Quando vivevamo in Italia ci mancava molto lo stile di vita scandinavo. Ci piace molto vivere a Copenhagen, anche se a volte ci manca il clima e il cibo dell?Italia, oltre che I nostril familiari ed amici.

Inside of Rome, Italy stands a huge amphitheater known as the Roman Coliseum. In the Roman times, it was used for arena f ights as entertainment of the town?s folk. They would take slaves and force them to f ight other slaves or animals. The slaves were known as gladiators and were used to entertain the emperor and his court.

Emperor Vespasian created this amphitheater as a gif t to his people. Today the Roman Coliseum is a famous tourist attraction where people can walk around the seating area, or take a tour underneath the Roman Coliseum where the animals used to be held and where the gladiators prepared for the f ights.

My f irst visit to Italy was Rome, and I think that the Coliseum was the best landmark I visited. Once I learned the history of the Coliseum, I can almost visualize what people were doing and the excitement of the time.

We are the Boscardi family, we are Italian and moved to Copenhagen last August from Jerusalem. Quite a dif ference! From the Middle East, one of the most dif f icult spots in the world, to peaceful and friendly Copenhagen.

We like Copenhagen, its calm, easy to live, there are no check points and you don?t see armed people around, one of the scariest thing in Jerusalem - you could have 18 year olds jogging with a kalashnikov hanging on their shoulders? . We love how easy it is to move around with public transportation and bicycle. The sense of security walking on the streets.

I feared most of all the change of climate, but must admit that it hasn?t been so bad, at least so far. The food offer is also great, either in the supermarkets or at restaurants. You can feel that Danes have indeed sailed and all over the world and brought back an incredible amount of tastes and f lavours.

Of course we miss Italy, our friends, our blue sky and sun, the colourful markets and beautiful surroundings. But I found the Danish landscapes extremely beautiful and inspiring. I am no artist, but I wish I was whenever I look at the sea and pass through the woods or in the parks. The light and the nuances of the colours of the nature are so intense here, I just wish I could paint it!

It is always exciting to move to a new country and discover it, but along the line you meet wonderful people that you wish you shouldn?t have to leave and starting again is not so easy. Denmark is no exception, I found it more dif f icult to get to know people and f ind new friends here than in Jerusalem. The international community there is smaller and more compact, here we are in a big city and scattered, it is taking more time but I?m sure we?ll get there! I think we?ll have a great t ime here!!!

Table football is a very famous game in the world. It was made in 1980s, in Italy. This is how you play it: There has to be at least two players, but there can be also four or six players. You swing the sticks around, so you can move your players around to kick the ball to your teammates or the goal. By Hedy

Meet a High School Student

My name is Carlo Duva, I?m a 9th grade student. I was born in Milan, Italy.

The thing I miss the most is probably having discussions and arguments with my friends about football teams. Football is very big part in an Italian person?s life; what?s your team is actually one of the f irst things you ask when you meet someone. I love football, and I love watching it. I?m a very competit ive person and I really l ike to argue. Therefore I, def initely miss arguing with my friends about which team is the best.

I go to my Milan every Christmas and Summer breaks. When I go back, my favourite thing to do is, meeting my friends and meeting my grand-parents. When I go back I always like to enjoy a delicious and fair priced pizza... cough...cough...compared to Denmark?s prices. But that?s not my favourite Italian food. My favourite is lasagna; it?s really amazing.

The festivals and holidays in Italy are practically the same as in Denmark. I l ike Christmas very much because we have dinner with our relatives. We have a big dinner, and we exchange presents.

One word you can learn in Italian is Stanco; it means Tired.

Changing school and meeting new people is very hard when I?m new to a country. I?m very shy, therefore it?s very hard for me to make friends, and the language was a barrier because I spoke very litt le English at f irst.

Denmark is the safest place on Earth. It is the main reason I enjoy living here. It?s safe to go out late at night, so I really enjoy being able to go out without my parents freaking out.

The dif ference between Denmark and Italy that amazed me the most were the bikes. It was unbelievable how many people went to work by bike, and that there were so many bike lanes. I enjoy going to school by bike.

This is a picture of me in the south of Italy (Basilicata) two summers ago.

This photo is of Vesuvius seen from Pompeii, the most renowned touristic attraction in Italy. Mount Vesuvius destroyed the city of Pompeii in A.D. 79. Because the city was buried so quickly by volcanic ash, the site is a superbly-preserved snapshot of l ife in a Roman city.

A very typical view of the volcano, Vesuvius, and the touristic harbour. The photo was taken from the battlements of Castel dell 'ovo, one of the three castles that are in Napoli.
