Note d'uso	Usa 'storia' quando parli di cose successe tanto tempo fa, specialmente a scuola o quando studi. Va bene sia quando scrivi che quando parli. Però, cerca di non usarlo in chiacchiere super informali, a meno che tu non stia raccontando storie personali. Use 'history' when discussing events from the past, especially in educational contexts.
