Italian Translation?

We purchased a pre-owned home that needed a LOT of work -- more work than we imagined, which meant more money than we had figured. We have done much of the work ourselves and the house is being transformed into our home -- which we love. The house has a Mediterranean/Italian style for the most part -- and I thought it would be fun to give our house an Italian name (and get a plaque to put in our entryway with that name on it). I wanted something that reflected the fact that buying the house may have been a mistake in the beginning, but now it is beautiful.

I was thinking something like "Beautiful Folly"

Could an Italian speaker give me the translation for that phrase – or if there is another phrase that would have a similar meaning and/or convey the story that would work/sound better – I'm up for suggestions!

Thanks!

I tried manually changing it and it prompted me to restart my laptop. It did reboot but the language was still Italian. Help!

How do I get a European or Italian look?

I've heard a couple of people telling someone or talking about someone saying they look Italian or European,but I have no clue what people mean when they tell someone that they have a European or Italian look.

What is it suppose to look like? Stereotypically speaking, I guess.

How can I achieve that Euro or Italian look?

I have fair/light skin, light brown hair and eyes.

I would a appreciate a pic as a visual of what the Euro or Italian look is suppose to look like.

I'm fluent in Spanish, a university student and I really want to learn Italian. Ideally I would like to be in Italy for at least 3 months. Does anyone know of some sort of program over the summer where I could live there and maybe teach English? Or maybe know of a place where I could find such programs? My university offers study abroad programs but its kind of a hassle. Any information will help.

I would like to get Live, Laugh, Love, Believe tattooed in Italian and I'm having trouble finding the correct translation. The above would be as if it was Live well, Laugh often, Love much, Believe in dreams. So far I'm thinking Vivi ~ Ridi ~ Ama ~ Credi is the closest, but am also looking to find if there are any accent marks on any letters to make it truly authentic. I would appreciate anyone's help out there that truly knows Italian. Thanks in advance!
