Italy Is The Place To Be!

By Antonio Cremenesi


Yes, I have seen a lot of the great country of Italy in Europe. Being of Italian descent, I just have to visit the country at least twice a year. I just love to go to Rome and watch ancient history mixed with modern times. But I also like cities like Milano, Modena and the Como Lake area in the north. The country has so much to offer. And then I haven't mentioned great areas like Tuscany and cities like Venice.

I have seen Italy from North to South and from East to West. I tasted the Italian cuisine with all the papillas in my mouth and I simply can't get enough of it. Why would I? Whether it is pizza, tortellini or some great seafood cooked at the southern islands, it always satisfies my appetite.

Rome and its history is something I never forget. The city breaths history 24 hours a day. It doesn't really matter what part of the city you visit, you just can't get enough of places like the Coliseum and the cathedrals.

And what to think about Venice? I mean, don't you love this place! Well, I do at least. I just have to jump into one of those typical gondolas and get a taste of history every time I am there. Unfortunately the city council wants to charge every tourist for entering the city, starting in 2011, so you better visit the city asap if you want to enjoy it for free.

Pisa, in the Tuscany region is of course famous for its tower. And yes, it is an experience to watch the tower and its strange angle. The city is always packed with tourists who climb the tower and yes, it takes quite some energy to climb it because of the strange stairs inside. But once you are at the top of the tower, you have a great few and all is forgotten.

When you leave the country and travel back home, don't forget to take some of Italy's best export products: salami and cheese. I never forget to visit one of the local farmers in the country side who make their own salami and I can guarantee you, it tastes fabulous and is nothing like the stuff you buy in your local supermarket. In other words, Italy is a great country to visit.
