šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ Italy | Travelling in Italy

seems true! well also seem be some good business people in the area, higher income than the south

I fly out of Bologna a lot. And the boarding agents always ignore the priority boarding by groups and just open it up for all groups. I was told this was the reason

Bologna is still a very rich city, very historical. In Emilia Romagna, the region Bologna is the capital of, there r many important companies and the region itself is a tourism powerhouse. The people r very entrepreneurial and hard working, even if they r quite red, but in Bologna due to the university also the commies from other regions and countries go, whom r instead rather lazy

Have no clue about this, never actually flew from Bologna

Genoa (Nice city, really!)



Interesting Metro station name

Ofc get focaccia (either plain or with onions, those r the traditional), some good pesto pasta (trenette or trofie or linguine)

So which pesto brands in Taiwan are better, a few choices at the market.

La molisana is a good pasta brand, voiello and rummo too. de Cecco quite basic, Barilla Is mediocre.

Thank you, will search them out.

I feel it’s quite nice city, but more expensive than other parts of Italy though.

I have been to Rome and Venice, both are crowded and touristy. I will not go to Italy anymore.

Wow, 2 cities and done with a country. Amazing and great open mindness. Good, more space for us Italians and normal ppl. Thx!

Edit: although can’t blame u on not willing to travel anymore after seeing Rome, the city is in shambles and no one gives a shit. Venice very overcrowded and if u don’t know what to do and where to go to avoid the crowds, it is annoying. But both cities can be magical

You have to see both once in your life.

But Tuscany might be somewhere you’d like to relax and enjoy good food, wine, beautiful countryside. This scene is Gladiator is close to where I like in the provincia di Siena in a place called Val d’Orcia.

This is where I live next to Monteriggioni. You might know it if you’re a fan of Assassins Creed as the base of Ezio Auditore.


I’ve yet to go to south but I plan to as well. Just don’t feel comfortable driving with my car as they’re known to break into nicer cars.

Says who?
I regret going to both cities.

Both historic cities. Venice will be gone one day. One of the most important trade cities in the last and the birthplace of modern banking. The work bank comes from the Italian word banco meaning outside bench where money exchangers and lenders/depositors would do business. Also the world oldest cafe still open is there.

I don’t think I need to explain the importance of Rome.

But maybe you don’t care much for history.

I can read or watch about history. I don’t need to be presented in the overcrowded tourist trap of whatever the history is left with. They are Disneylands with older buildings modified and designed for tourists. I am sure Italians are very happy their ancestors built those Disneyland for them.

I think most countries have shit cities, particularly their capitals, that doesn’t represent the whole.

France arguably doesn’t have any nice towns or cities but the rest of it is stunning.

You’re arguably wrong.

So is it right or wrong?

I prefer smaller villages, but France is mostly wonderful. Arles, Nimes, Avignon or Strasbourg are wonderful.
