Answer 4

In certain areas it is getting that way.

Particularly Tuscany

Answer 5

Only in some areas. Currently very popular are Le Marche, Abruzzo, Puglia and Calabria due to the relatively low cost of property. The more expensive areas (Italian Lakes for example) have far fewer Brits. Also areas like Rimini are not very popular with Brits as the area is very built up and popular mainly with Italian tourists.

Answer 6

Is it a problem? The French shopkeepers on the way to the bank certainly don't think so. So likely, neither do the Italians, but it is a lot further to go for a carton of ciggies.
