First of all, sorry for my bad English.
I'm from Italy and I always asked myself that question. I live near Adriatic coast, we have beaches, mountains, hills, art and historical places, nice little villages, shopping (mostly the best shoes in the world), lovely food and traditions: all so close, in half an hour you can reach different places. So why all americans always go to the same boring and obvious places? The few that came in our mild hills, have bought country houses and come back here every year.

we saw rome and florence when we visited last year, but our favorite places were the ones out in umbria and the eastern coastline. i absolutely adore spoleto and all the time we spent exploring that region around and east of it. a really cool place we drove to was the grotte di frasassi. although the whole tour was in italian, the stuff we saw in the cave didn't need to be translated. next time we visit we hope to have more time for the adriatic coast. |
