I am sorry…what is ‘chiocciola’? Is it”@”? The meaning ‘snail’ does not give me enough ‘clue’.

Ciao Jennifer, The @ mark looks like the shell of a snail, that’s why we call it a “chiocciola”.

Gracie Mille. I wasn’t sure and have always wondered what it was called. I am really enjoying these emails. Thanks.
A presto,

Jennifer
