Every year, many people visit Bel Paese, attracted by the historical and natural beauties that characterize it. However, if we talk about sea towns, tourists tend to visit the beautiful south of Italy, ignoring the small gems of the north – among these we find La Spezia, a port city located in the Liguria region, but just a few kilometers away from the border with the gorgeous Tuscany. So, we decided to dedicate today’s article to this (in our opinion) underestimated city precisely because it is relatively unknown to tourists.

Out of all the useful expressions, “HO FAME” (I’m hungry) is one of the most simple and direct ones to express the desire or need to eat something: if I say “I’m hungry”, the message can hardly be misunderstood! However, the Italian language has the characteristic of having many analogous expressions, meaning that they express the same concept but with different nuances – if you want to become fluent, it is only good that you know and learn them… not to be repetitive! So, in this article I decided to show you 10 alternative expressions to say “ho fame”!

The Italian language has many words and synonyms to express many different concepts, even emotions. If you think about it, it makes sense that there are many synonyms to express joy, because it’s the most common one… but what about sadness? I mean, how do you put into words that simple sentiment, other than the usual “SONO TRISTE” (I am sad)? I know, it’s really hard to think about it on the spot… and this is why I wrote this article and put together a list of 11 expressions to express this feeling!
