Moving in Italy
Moving between Italian cities for work is common, especially toward Milan and Turin, and many young professionals share apartments for years before living alone. A roommate — coinquilino or coinquilina — can become something close to family, and the end of a shared apartment is often a small farewell ceremony. Turin, the former capital of Italy and the home of a large industrial and cultural sector, attracts people from all over the country. The train connection with Milan is fast, which makes Lombardy and the rest of the North easy to reach. Regret has precise grammar in Italian: se solo, avrei dovuto, vorrei che fossi rimasta, mi pento di aver…, rimpiango di non aver…. The condizionale passato and the congiuntivo trapassato do most of the work.
