Forza e Bellezza

It’s Italians all week this week, I’m sure you’ll be disappointed to hear! Though absolutely not in Italian – the few words below cost me a big headache and far too much time with my old Collins Italian dictionary and a little help with the correct endings from Google Translate.

It’s a place close to my heart as I lived there for a couple of years in my early 20s, and, as a young man in Italy, it would have been downright rude if I’d not made sure those years were memorable ones. And talking of memorable, does anyone else remember donnemuscolare.it, a great Italian female muscle website that seems, unfortunately, to no longer be with us?

There are better-known attractions to the country, but Italy has produced more than its fair share of beautiful muscular women, as well as one of the great female muscle photographers, Carlo Puzzilli.

Anyway, welcome to a week celebrating the Strength (Forza) and the Beauty (yes, you guessed it, Bellezza) of muscular Italian women, starting with a few donne muscolare and a little message to my amici Italiani.

Sono sempre sorpreso dal fatto che anche se il mio blog è in inglese, i lettori di tutto il mondo lo visitano. Oltre a paesi di lingua inglese, un gran numero di lettori sono da Italia.

Sono particolarmente contento di questo perché ho buoni ricordi di Italia, dove ho lavorato come insegnante di inglese dal 1997 al 1999 e ho avuto la fortuna di vivere in due splendide città, prima a Bologna e poi a Trani in Puglia.

Questa settimana, voglio dire un grande grazie ai miei lettori italiani e celebrare alcuni dei miei preferiti donne italiane muscolari.

Vorrei poter scrivere il blog tutto in italiano per questa settimana, ma ho già il mal di testa di scrivere queste poche parole. Spero che vi piaccia ‘Forza e Bellezza’ sul Female Muscle Slave. Grazie per aver letto!

  1. Hi there, I'm a reader from Italy! Thanks for this kind post! :) The Italian you managed to put together is quite great! :) Though I have to say that "donna muscolare" (or "donne muscolari", plural form) doesn't make any sense. The English word "muscular" is translated as "muscolosa" (female form) or "muscolose" (female form, plural). Thus, "muscle woman" and/or "muscular woman" become "donna muscolosa". ;)
    Also, you forgot to mention Mavi Gioia and Debora Gallamini among those buff Italian stars :D

    1. Hi j2001,

      Thanks for the Italian lesson! Those endings are so difficult for me. Glad the rest was understandable.

      It's donne muscolose all week so stay tuned and there might be a little Debora or Mavi later in the week ;-)

      Your English is fantastic by the way.

      Thanks for reading. Ciao!
