Briciola and Il Tigre (Wait, there are scorpions in Italy?)


The villa has a few mascots along with the lizards skittering around everywhere (and the snake that I don’t like to think about, and the scorpion I killed in our room today. Did not know there were scorpions in Italy). 



The dog is named Briciola, which means breadcrumb. It’s pretty perfect for him – he looks like a little koala. I don’t know the cat’s real name, because he was christened Il Tigre as soon as we got here. His name also suits him – he loves attention, and has been known to settle himself even in the laps of people who are allergic to him (like Talya here). 


Briciola seems to just sit all day on the hill where the road to the villa comes up, but Il Tigre will make special appearances in class or against your legs unexpectedly. I only discovered Il Tigre’s preferred hiding spot when I surprised him walking by. 

Just chilling.
And admiring the view

Danger lurks in the bushes...

...ever ready to attack
Che carino!
