The best thing about marrying an Italian? You're automatically part of a big Italian family. The worst thing about marrying an Italian? You're automatically part of a big Italian family. If you're a regular listener to the show, you've heard Tiffany talk about (and sometimes complain about) her Italian in-laws for years—especially during those long months when she and her husband lived with them when in between apartments. This week, Tiffany's mother-in-law, Luisa and father-in-law, Rocco, join us to speak for themselves. Katy and Tiffany discuss many topics with this couple who have been married for 40 years, including the closeness of the Italian family unit, how they first met, which of their three children is the favorite, and what they thought when their only son brought home an American girl. A hilarious episode ensues, in which we finally learn if they dislike each other as much as they pretend to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPONSOR THE SHOW: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
