What a great answer to this question Fabiana.
Your background and having grown up in Italy, is something you should cherish and I wonder if you and your family keep a book of the remedies you have used or perhaps the recipes for the soaps and the liquers containing the herbs? I suggest that you start to record all the recipes and just little bits of information that you can remember and speak to older members of your community there about it. It is a wonderful treasure trove of knowledge. I started to talk to the older people in my family about these things when I was in my late twenties and thirties but for many it was too late as they could not remember the details. Just a thought anyway!
And for the rest – great. Well done!
