I love places that have an incredible history. I love the Italian way of life. I love the food. I love the people. I love the attitudes of Italians.

I love being Italian.

If I spoke Italian, I'd be in Italy in a minute. I love the food, I love the way people live there. I mean, it really is my idea of paradise.

When it comes to my style, I'm a proper Italian woman of the modern age!

I am certainly Italian in my love of food! I eat everything, but I love Italian food most of all. Even my daughter does. Her favourite food is pasta and parmigiana.

I love Italy and I say I am from Italy wherever I go.

The secret is that I am Italian.

I grew up with a saying: 'It doesn't matter what you wear or where you go, but your hair always has to be brushed.' So in Italy, we come from that kind of culture - where how you present yourself is important.

I like the world, but I feel very, very Italian. I love the small parts of my country: Tuscany, Capri in the winter. I don't like big towns.

I love the Italian culture - it's a beautiful culture. I love the language, the Italian people, their music, their attitudes... I just love it! Sometimes I think I'm an Italian trapped in a Spanish woman's body.
