Why many of you want to go to italy?

Question

i often read that many of you wanna move here, or live here yet. why do you choose Italy as "dream-country"? have your expectations been satisfied?

Answer 1

While walking down a street in Assisi, I made a promise to myself that I will live in Italy someday. I have yet to move there, but I'm only 19...there's still time :-)

Italy was unlike any country I had ever been to. Sure, France is just as beautiful and rich in history...but there's this atmosphere in Italy that you can't get anywhere else. I come from a small town in the southern U.S., and the way everybody (well, not everybody of course...but in general) was so laid back and friendly reminded me of home. So, I think I love it so much because you get the best of two worlds...small town charm in a big city.

The only problem I had with Italy was the crazy drivers! I was almost hit twice...once in Rome and again in Florence.

Answer 2

Your country is lovely, welcoming and rich in world history. No one who sees a sunset off the shores of Capri or visits Roma, ever forgets it. The Italian people are very kind. You can relax and be yourself in Italy like few places on earth.

Answer 3

I loved it for the weather and the food..... the fact that it takes all night to eat all of the courses and I was very satisfied. lol

Answer 4

I've been to the Italy only to Milan and Florence. I was going to go to Rome but there was a train strike and I loved it. I have some Italian friends here in the States and am used to their generosity, warmth, and great cooking. Even though I've already been; I won't be satisfied until my return. I plan on going back to Italy in the summer of '09 to fully explore all of Italy and would so love to live there. I had loads of fun!

I LOVE accents in general so it's only but natural for me to adore the Italian accent. When the Italian languague is spoken it just seems to roll off from the tongue so effortlessly, softly, and smoothly as if it's a sound of purring. It's kind of the same as Spanish, but much more elegant. Seriously, just speak to me in Italian and it's over; you got me! I'll be in so much awe of you *smiles*

There everyone dresses with a sense of sophistication being either male or female. It's a very nice look unlike Americans who's style consist of jeans, baseball caps, flip flops, and track suits. In Europe for women the handbag and shoes are the most important aspects of her outfit. I also like how all around Europe people walk, take public transportation (buses, metros, trains, subways, taxis), and mopeds to reach their destinations regardless of what they're wearing.

I think Americans could learn so much from the Italians and the rest of Europe in terms of how they live. Because here in the States we're so consumed with materialistic things (the newer, bigger, and more expensive things), work-a-holics, greedy, and selfish. But in Europe it's the complete opposite; Europeans know what truly matters most; they seem to have their priorities in order. Their happiness drives from within as they lead simple lives and remember the importance of family, religion, history, and culture.

I absolutely love how the sunset is at 10pm and how the locals are friendly, flirty, and in a cheery mood.

Not to mention the men are beautiful and the women are gorgeous. Since I've came back to the states I refused to eat at any so-called "Italian" restuarants knowing that they aren't authentic nor even close to the types of food I had experienced in Italy. The last time I was in Italy was in summer of '06 and I still can't seem to stop the word Europe (Italy, France, Germany, UK- places I visited) out of my vocabulary. lol. It's not a real problem or anything, but my family is so tired of me talking about it lol....it's been 2 yrs. I have my mom convinced to go to Italy; though I'm still working on my sister.

**Though, I don't like the traffic and the driving is crazy. I almost got ran over twice!

Answer 5

e tu perchè sei una passera scopaiola?

Answer 6

Passera, interesting question to ask here. You very well know that there are so many young Italians who want to live in the US following what they call "American Dream". I guess that from the opposite side the dream is called "La Dolce Vita" :)
