It has everything, in my opinion, heaven on earth, high quality food, medieval villages, historic cities, amazing hidden beaches, the riviera, the Dolomites, fashion, art, cars, traditions, etc... it's on another level than the rest of the world.

Completely the opposite of USA. The culture and traditions are incredible, everything gets produced locally and sold on local markets. Everything is so pure and high quality, its just real! Not artificial. The nature, ocean, mountains, villages and cities. You have everything in Italy.

I was in Italy last year in September. My heritage hails from the southern part of the country in Napoli. I have friends I've known in Bologna for about 16 years, and they couldn't wait for me to come. Our first stop was Rome which was amazing, followed by the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, taking a boat to the island of Capri, then putting the anchor down and swimming in the ocean. Then up to Venice, and finally Bologna. While in Venice, I went where the locals were, we ate at Al Timon there and it was delicious. When I got to Bologna, my friend there brought us to a place to eat, and another friend there showed up even though his son was sick, he wanted to be able to see me. The next day my friend brought me to the Ferrari museum which I loved and than took me out to eat. It helps knowing people there as they can help guide you and bring you to the best spots. I laugh when people say the food wasn't good because they got suckered into a place advertising a tourist menu, rather than going to the places where the locals go. Or the guys that are yelling at you to come check out the place. A place with great food will speak for itself, not a guy yelling at you to come in. Italy is the only country I've ever been to and I don't really need to go anywhere else. I feel like it's my second home there, as there is where the family began before they came to the United States. People with Italian heritage should connect with their roots. Trust me, I cried when flying out of Rome back home to New York. A part of my heart was left there and there is just so much to see but not enough time. I will be going back though because for me, I don't think anything else as a package can compete with Italia. Food, language, wine, cars, history, architecture, the people, the scenery and the mere fact that Italia is basically an open art museum. You'll find tons of stuff that you couldn't find in other countries. Can't wait to go back.

Brilliant! That is REAL Italy. I had a big grin on my face the entire video. Even in Rome, or Venice, or Florence... you can have a local "small town experience" if you choose to. Get off the beaten path. Stay in a room above a family restaurant. Shop at the grocery store. Go to a vinaria for your wine. And most importantly, slow the hell down. Sit somewhere and do nothing but watch, listen, and smell. Don't do anything in a timely manner. That is when travel is at it's best. impromptu. Be open to a variety of options. Do and try new things. Please communicate with locals, even if you don't speak the language. It's really hard not to fall in love with Italy. It seeps into your bones. Once you have been there, you will always feel the pull to go back. It feels like home.

When I was in Sicily I stayed at a friend's family home. It was great because you are placed in the community. Got to eat at local restaurants and cook at home. Pick olives and lemons right from their trees. Also from someone spent over 10 years in restaurants that made pizza...great 1st attempt 😃

Italy, a country many want or try to put down has one of the richest cities in the world, Milan, and cute little towns many love to visit to confirm their stereotypes and as well history, culture, food, language dynamics, beauty, design, sciences, engineering, and practically everything and anything else you desire!

It’s so lovely to see how Alex always makes Emma laugh. Life only gets more complicated the older you get, it’s way more enjoyable when you have someone along for the ride that can put a smile on your face. Humour makes your blood pressure drop, releases endorphins and makes your skin glow. Which probably means that spending time with Alex is as effective as a daily probiotic, hard core exercise or a juice cleanse! Thanks for the great vlog!

We Italians know well where tourists usually go, but we know perfectly well that Italy is all beautiful, there is no city that does not give you something, for the simple fact that it is a true nation culturally, which has kept its historical nature intact , so you might find beauty even in places you've never heard the name of … it is we Italians who underestimate ourselves, Italy, with its wealth of art, culture and natural beauty, has long been the leader of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world, and we invest nothing in Rome, the Eternal City .... the other nations invest a lot in their cities and capitals, Tokyo, London, Paris ecc. in reality, Italy has never reached its real potential, our problem is the politicians who sell us off for a loaf of bread … XD P.S.

Ciao Alex and Emma, I'm really glad to have come across this video (and your channel) so I can live vicariously through your travels in Italy. Last year I had to make the hard decision to quit my underwhelming school program in Italy and move back to the States, leaving behind my partner of 4 years now. We both had no idea when I left that we wouldn't end up seeing each other for an entire year due to the pandemic. Hoping for the day we will be reunited. As someone who misses it every day, I am thankful that there are people like you showing a realistic view of Italy and encouraging travelers to explore the off-the-beaten path areas to better immerse themselves in Italian culture. It's tiring to see people on social media traveling to Italy as some kind of superficial way to show off their status without really appreciating the country. Now I have my fingers crossed that I will return to Italy under a Fulbright scholarship at the end of next year and hopefully settle down permanently with my partner and begin my career as a translator. Statemi bene e buon viaggio!
