Certainly the world will not be much different if these villages eventually die out. But it could be different if they live. A way of life …
More on Tre’s Antics

And it’s all because the service provided by Tre Italia mobile internet is either incompetent or deliberately inferior so as to make the customer pay more.

A day on the Litoranea
