Pistoia was the perfect city for us to be based in. It wasn't too big but not too small and it was lively and lovely and just wonderful all around. All the people of the city knew who we were cause every Fall a new group of American students come. They were all very nice people and there was the best place for me to use my Italian. Every Wednesday and Saturday they'd have huge markets in the larger squares of the city which was always full of people. We actually got to meet the mayor of the city, who turned out to be a bad guy, and we got to have a reception in the commune building. This year was also the 20th anniversary of the Aegean Center having an Italy program so we had a big music concert at the end of September with a big buffet party after.
