a Piedi

The Italians have several speeds on foot: Most take a passeggiata (stroll) at a speed that drives many Americans crazy. If you're serious about it, you "cammino" (walk) or "corro" (run). Today, I went "footing" (jogging).

It goes without saying (but I will anyway): the Italians don't have a group of language purity watchdogs like the French do to ban such linguistic hybrids...
