Well, after many questions of whether or not we celebrated Thanksgiving in Italy, I decided to answer the question with a post. Yes - we celebrated Thanksgiving after class in the morning. And the cooking staff outdid themselves. I am 99% sure the Italians think we are crazy for having a day where we give thanks by stuffing our faces and then watching American football / sleeping. None-the-less, Nino and Lucia prepared an absolutely amazing traditional meal of roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, veggies, and the most amazing stuffing I've ever had (Dad, I'm working on a gluten-free version!). 
The meal was even topped off by homemade pumpkin pie and whipped cream.
The dining room was decorated so beautifully, and they truly made it a special day for us even though we are very far from home.
And, in true American fashion, we watched many episodes of Arrested Development (no TV here), and then took long naps. Grazie di tutto!
