Excuse me, I didn't read it with the right emphasis. I put a comma after
'due' (don't ask me why, dunno why!), and the phrase obviously didn't make
sense.

Well, here we reach 30°C in summer, but from the end of August we have
showers (thanks God, I can't bear hot). Sometimes it rains for a whole week
without stops longer than 20 mins!

Well, I like school in general, not some of my classmates, surely not
homeworks or written tests. Oral tests are my speciality, especially in
subjects as Philosophy or History. Summer vacations are generally boring,
but as one of my best friends says, 'che c'è di meglio da fare che oziare?'
(Is there something better than getting some 'otium'?).

We generally don't get much snow, I'm 750 mts on the sea level. But on
higher mountains... last year they got the first snowfall on 15th August!
And in winter in Norhtern Lombardy valleys they get to -20°C!

No, but I've noticed it!
