That's because guinea WOP households are very primitive places, not only
do many dwellings not only lack basic refrigeration, but also cooking gas
and
plumbing and thus modern appliances and so the facilities for food
preparation are very limited...

Refrigerators and air conditioning are considered still by many in Italy
to be "works of the devil", the cool air they produce is considered to be
"bad for health"...

Not only do they lack modern refrigeration and A/C over there but
Italians do not believe in the use of window screens, that is why malaria
and polio
and other vermin - borne and filth - borne diseases are so practically
rife there...

Italy really is still Third World, just look at a place like Venice,
MOUNDS of rubbish in the streets...and the canale of Venezia are open
sewers, they
dump the contents of their chamberpots right off of their balconies every
morning...

I never realized that you were so old that you would have visited Italy in
the 19th century.
