Translation of materialista

My parents were Italian, but the first language I learned was Spanish, since we lived in southern Spain. Very close to Gibraltar. When I was older, like twelve I moved with them back to Lucca in Italy.
The conjugations of verbs are the biggest problem for me. I have never studied Spanish in school, but visited evening classes instead. This year I want to take a full Spanish course.
I hope there were not too many mistakes here. I have learned Spanish not a long time ago and I am still very insecure! Tell me please, where do you come from and what you do?
