Italians have a name for an invisible danger. In Florida, it's hiding in plain sight.
Colpo d'aria
Literally a blow of air: a draft. In Italy it gets blamed for a stiff neck, an earache, a headache and more.
Every mother knows them
No wet hair outdoors. No open window while sweating. Never sit under the air conditioning. Cover up below 77 degrees.
La maglia della salute
The health shirt: a light undershirt that keeps the chest covered. Neck, throat and back are what Italians protect.
Florida, by her rules
Ninety outside, sixty-eight at the table. A thin knit that covers neck and arms is the comfortable answer.
From Maria's edit
Dry your hair. Keep something light at your neck.
