Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum |
I loved everything about it. Venice was beautiful, and Rome was friendly. The food was lovely, as were the scenery and the people. I even managed to arrange a meet! It was bloody hot when I was there but I am back again next year (Turin) and planning for Venice again in 2017. |

My lasting memory of Italy is sitting alone on a hotel balcony watching the sun set on Lake Como whilst I tucked into crusty bread, a leg of lamb and a bottle of _ed.
I have never been more content  |

"The food, the climate, the culture, the history, the ruins, the art, the wine...
I'd go live in Rome tomorrow...
Only problem is you'd have to be mad to actually live there. "
This.
Love Italy, particularly the south. There can be few places on Earth as staggering as The Amalfi Coast, and few people as open, friendly and beautiful. The climate, the culture, the food are all second to none.
Unfortunately, live there for any more than a couple of weeks and you will realise that "Jobsworth" isn't just a word, it's a way of life. As the world appears to fall down around you , beaurocracy is king

"The Vespasian Man thingy got me thinking about my time in Italy. I really enjoyed the warmth, the buildings, the pizza and the olive skinned ladies.
What do you like about Italy? "
The Vitruvian Man lol (Ikea £35 or Italy $150 million) |

"Corrupt, bureaucratic and financially on it's arse it's one of the most amazing countries I've visited."
True but burocracy is crazy also here.
Forgetting that UK has a much BIGGER debt compa_ed to Italy...but the country income is higher
For the corruption no apologies  |

My hairdresser is from the south and said they aren't very welcoming and you have to speak Italian to go there. Or maybe she meant to live there,in which case I would expect that learn the language |

Naples is a fucking shit hole
Rome is hot and noisy
Milan pissed it down all the time
Florence was full of....tourists and domes
Pisa was full of..... tourists and gelati
Capri was full of rich arrogant gliteratti
I'd go back in a shot! |

Rome is hot in summer. You are crazy if you go. In August the population of Rome halves as everyone escape from the city
No hope for Naples... |

You should go to Sardinia. See has nothing to envy to Hawaii or Polynesia 
Amalfi coast is not as characteristic as you cluld think. Many places are better |

On my first visit to Naples, my camcorder was stolen within minutes of getting off the bus. Parts of it are barely more than shanty town, and the poverty is eye-openings. Still prefer it to Rome though and have some wild and wonderful times there - the Neapolitans are wonderful folk on the whole and you always have the Bay and the coastal drive (if you are prepa_ed to take your life in your hands, that is). |

I've been to Sardinia Leonard and can't agree. Amalfi /Sorrento and The Bay may be a bit over commercial these days but the raw beauty is still there. Parts of Corsica perhaps |

Went to catania last November, stayed 20 kilometres away from Mnt Etna!
Wonderful sights, and very friendly local people.
Wouldn't hesitate going back, loved the place. |

Born and raised in Italy...still living here (Verona-Lake Garda-Velpolicella area) still a nice place to live...but italians are much more "nervous" than they were 20 years ago, not as welcoming as it used to be....bah |

My daughter had just passed her A levels so as a treat I decided to take her to visit my sister and brother in law in Milan, via Rome.
Driving past the Coleseum, lit up at night left me speechless. Everywhere you look in Rome is a feast to your eyes.
We were only there a couple of days, killing time until my sister returned from Tunisia. I intend going back and truly exploring Italy, top to toe.
We took a train from Rome to Milan. My sister and her husband met us...ooh, the joy! I love the Italians, their sense of family, their lifestyle. I'd live there tomorrow! |

I love the fact that I have a house in the Pre Alpi near Bergamo and I can visit it on Ryan air for £40 return [with no bag]. Out there on my own January 16th to 20th skiing and in Summer I will be sunning myself by the pool. Hit me up if you fancy a drink? Bill |
