I knew I was back in Italy when I saw a gelateria across from a United Colors of Benetton on every corner. And considering two-thousand-year-old ruins served as the backdrop, I knew I was in Rome.My decision to come to Italy was last minute. I spent the summer of 2002 touring the country as a stude…
