I am renovating my house in the Borgo

Use google translate to write out what you want, go to the ferramenta with a copy and show it to them! Most likely a number of plumbers use their shop!

well done young man !!

venite a vivere in italia ? BENE , siamo tutti felici , ma almeno l'italiano di sopravvivenza dovete impararlo,..otherwise you risk what happened to me, when in the early 80s, in London, in Piccadilly Circus, I asked for a cold tea .... they brought me a VERY BEAUTIFULL glass of water, with 3 beautiful ice cubes in float in ... and in a nice saucer of white porcelain, with a tea lipton filter bag

Google translate is not the best translator. I recommend you to use some help from professional writers, who perfectly know the English and Italian languages.

certainly, they will put a professional writer in the right pocket of their pants, and they will take it with them from morning to wake up when they go to sleep, and if during the night the neighbor calls them because they snore too loud, they will bring in the professional writer for reply -Try to post less absurd suggestions when you advertise your services.

Steve, certainly your hardware store, but also many Italian shopkeepers of this new century, are much less demanding than the London tobacconists of the 1980s.I remember, with a certain smile (like the novel by Francoise Sagan) when I asked, in Italian, for a packet of Malbòro, the reprehensible look that was addressed to me and I also remember that until I asked for Màlboro .. I didn't smoke. It is for this reason that, always with a certain smile, I would like your countrymen, who chose my homeland, as a holiday resort, or even as their second home, to engage, in the knowledge of Italian, rather that insist on wanting to use English .. a language that, for us Italians, has the strange prerogative of being different in one way and pronouncing in another ..

A bit like asking for a vite and getting offered a vine in the ferramenta, yes it could have been worse...
