My sister, Anne Parry, who has died aged 75, made her career in English language teaching. In 1991 she moved to Italy, teaching at various language schools and eventually at Verona University (2002-11) and Ca’ Foscari University in Venice (2000-10).
Anne integrated perfectly, speaking fluent Italian and eventually acquiring Italian citizenship. Even her appearance seemed to change and become more elegantly Italian. She adapted easily to a European way of life, taking visiting friends and family on tours of the Valpolicella vineyards, round her favourite spot, Lake Garda, and to the Arena di Verona opera festival.
