Answer 1

Hi!

I'm from Milan but I visited Rome.

Great differences between Milan and Rome are: language (Milan is a multicultural city and speaks a standard Italian, Rome has a typical dialectal accent), life (Milan is the centre of Italian Economy and Work, while Rome is more linked to Tourism).

Milan is a very big city, it is a "little" New York.

Milan has inserted its Cultural Heritages in its new life. And you will see Duomo, Teatro Alla Scala, Castello Sforzesco, Santa Maria delle Grazie exc...near all the newest buildings.

Milan has many shops and boutiques. Footbridges are many but...is difficult entering if you have no invites ;o(

People here, buy media at Ricordi Mediastore, Messaggerie Musicali, Mediaworld, Saturn, and Cloths at Miss Sixty, Footlocker, Levi's, Nadine, Zara, exc...You will find the boutiques linked to the cloths showed in the footbridges by Armani, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Biagiotti exc...in Via della Spiga or Via Montenapoleone near Duomo and Teatro alla Scala, but they are very very expensive! (For example an hat...1000 euros...).

as for pubs...Milan is fantastic!

We have great discos: Alcatraz, Rolling Stone, Hollywood, de Sade, ...Pubs: Cowboys Guest Ranch, Milwaukee'd Diner, Angelo Nero, exc...and many beautiful places with beaches and tropical swimming pools, like Acquatica, The Beach ad Idroscalo Punta dell'Est, or very fashion places like Cheval Cafe (At Ippodromo near the Leonardo's Statue), Just Cavalli Cafe (The local of Cavalli, a stylist), exc...I send you a link in which yu will find all the most famous discos, pubs, hotels exc.. of Milan even if it is written in Italian: http://www.milanonotte.it/discoteche_mil...

Italy has beautiful ancient places I think the beauty of Italy is Its past: castles, ancient churches, exc...and...food!

We have many wines, cheeses, exc...

In the south of Italy you will find more traditions and ancient past: Pompei for example is a city which was covered by the, I don't know the term, we say "lava", fire...of the Vulcan thousands years ago and you still can see the corpses today covered by stone.Then Ercolano, Capri, Agrigento and its temples. The centre of Rome...was the one which made great the Romans during the Imperial age. In the south you will find different type of cousine which uses much more oil, poverty and dialectal language. In the north..lives commerce, economy, so Milan is much more near the rest of Europe as fashion and traditions.

Other beautiful cities/Places are: Venice, Verona only for the arena and the balcony of Romeo and Juliet ;o), Imperia/Port Maurizio, nervi, camogli, Portofino, Pisa for the Torre, Firenze (Uffizi), Argentario (Toscana), Como, Taormina, Sardegna!

Answer 3

It depends where you go....the region you choose got a strong matter in the field of be friendly and nice to live in...i dont know if you come here to work...is not the right place to start a career really....find a job is very hard and the wage are the lowest in Europe...but if you already got a capital and come here to live without the problem of the job then the place is going to be very interesting ....if you can go along the coastline nearby the sea....is the better place to live and to stay here

Answer 6

italia is fabulous!

try everything! most obviously the pizza, pasta, gelato, and espresso.

the people are wonderful here and are very kind to tourists, unless they are drunk and obnoxious, but i think that goes for anywhere.

and yes, the guys are VERY flirtatious and VERY good looking. they do not hesitate to stare or come up to you. :]
