bocelli Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) - the weather (in Southern Italy) is always like amazing - the hottest men and women reside in Italy - best cuisine in the world, invented pizza and pasta - Amalfi Coast is heaven on Earth - great musicians (Bocelli, Pavarotti, Laura Pausini, Ramazzotti) - beautiful language - rich and iconic history - the most iconic fashion designers are Italians (Versace and Gucci) Well?

KillingYourCareer Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 It depends on what your parameters are. I personally really like it here and I don't plan to move abroad, I was born and living in the countryside 40 minutes outside of Milan so I can live in a quiet context while having all the services I need less than an hour away. I'm pretty meteoropathic and spoilt with food, so apart from more or less similar countries like Greece/Bulgaria/Croatia I always end up homesick after a couple of weeks when traveling abroad.

Filpo Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Bocelli, Pavarotti, Pausini, Ramazzotti Girl leave this garbage alone and get into some real italian excellence. Lucio Battisti, Nada, Loredana Bertè, Franco Battiato, Giuni Russo, Ornella Vanoni, Matia Bazar are all classics and could be a good starting point.

Selegend Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Rome was such a weird and dangerous city. Me and my friends had to literally run to no be robbed (or something worse that actually was the thing that felt more likely) and i was just on the side of the Colosseo. The guy ran behind us it was terrible. And Napoli was also very weird when it comes to safety… and im brazilian, lmao. besides that it was truly perfect Amalfi cost ITS INSANE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT ISSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those names and yet no mention of the true spearhead of Italian music: the immense Luciano Ligabue I feel like music is really one of the worse aspects of Italy. It's BORING and mostly anchored to a "classic" singer-songwriter style that never left any room for other genres to evolve here. Growing up in the 2000s I almost exclusively listened to foreign music because with people like Laura Pausini and Eros Ramazzotti, to use a colorful Italian saying, my balls detached themselves and rolled away on the floor.

Ive been to Croatia a couple of times, its like Walmart Italy I've only been to Dalmatia and it was during low season, it has wonderful scenery and their food is essentially a copy of Venetian food due to the region's history. I also really like how Croatians are pretty much accentless and sound like Italians attempting to speak Russian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennywiseTheClown Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I love Italy! Don't forget their legendary contribution to cinema too.

Brando Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Definitely a top tier country thanks to climate, geography, cuisine, culture, history. But politically and as a result societaly they can't get their **** together yet. Mafia is still a thing and the South is rather dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Because it is a Mediterranean country and was always a major trade hub. Even though Northern Europe is richer, they're ugly, have bad food and harsh languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totami Legend Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) The homophobic urge to call out the OP Bocelli is racist and he just came out as pro life Laura Pausini is over since 2009 The weather is killing us (I live in the deep south) Our language is 100% mistreated and we can’t talk properly Men are garbage Population is racist We dress at Zara or fast fashion Edited July 7, 2022 by Totami Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
