Perché Italia? parte seconda

Okay here's my crazy new theory on my passion for Italy. I've mentioned that my provenance is essentially all British Isles; not a drop of Mediterranean blood in evidence. But remember your English history: at one time a large part of Britain was a part of the Roman Empire. I'm thinking that somewhere back in my pedigree was a homesick Roman soldier, and my nostalgia was passed down in his blood. I'll let you know when I've gotten the results of my genealogical DNA tests.
