Hi, Italy is my country, as you know is a country where a lot of people from all over the world travel on holiday, now i would like to know and make a discussion about what you like and what you don't like about this country that has a big and old history, wonderfoul city, but also many problems.

I like your country!! I have a friend from Italy too, I know him from an online game, and again... I like your country. I saved my money so that one day I can go there, I really want to go to Milan, I want to see San Siro, where my favourite football club AC Milan trained. I want to go to Florence where Leonardo Da Vinci lived, I am a big fans of Leonardo Da Vinci. And of course, I want to go so Sicily, just to see whether it is like what Mario Puzo said in his book 'Godfather'.
Maybe the only thing that I don't like is that I can't speak Italian, so I can't communicate well when I go there _

wow, you surely have to write more about your country. I've only heard it from my GF who went ther a year ago. I couldn't go there because I don't have enoug money to pay for the tour. But I will surely go there, because yeah, as you said, my GF said that Florence is very beautiful, and she said that she wil go there again.
She threw a coin in the famous fountain (where Hillary Duff took a shoot for her movie Lizzie McGuire the movie long time ago), and she said she could make a wish there. Oh now I am so excited...

It has been my dream since childhood to visit Italy. Have heard so much and seen so many pictures. It is really beautiful. :)
Would like to taste authentic Italian food in Venice and have a gondola ride some day.. I don't know about the problems but I really think your country is beautiful.

hello there,
talking about venice here, I would like to visit the city but my GF said that the water is dirty, is it always like that or she just came in wrong season where the water is dirty? And she is afraid of being in a water transportation, so I might skip it if I go with her. too bad

Klaudine, the water is always dirty, is few and they are a lot of boot, they're no street downtown, only for walking, and also the bus are boot, but you dont have to swimm there!! no one daes it, and then is not so dirty that you die if you fall in..you'll smell bad after...that's all

Hi, first a warning, visit Venice because it's wonderfoul but, don't eat nothing there..all restorant are very expensive and you will not find really italian food!! When you like to eat really italian look for restorant where italian from that place are. Best is to find a little town and find a place to eat not direct in downtown..thanks for compliment and i've to give you right, Italy is beautifoul, and i notice that more because i lived 10 years in Germany (also a beautifoul country) and i missed Italy so much..

I like Italy as the heart of the christian faith-I have worked with many well intentioned Italians-there is a good Doctor who still works in Uganda called Dr Danielle-a smart Doctor whose administrative skills are beyond comparision-There was also another Dr Rossanigo-a man who served in the remote areas of Eastern Uganda with an Italian NGO called CWAM!
I also admire Italy as a footballing nation-three are fine footballers I llke are Luca Toni, Del Pierro and the cool headed Real madrid Defender whose power in the backline allowed Italy to win the last world cup! But there is this one man of a player who provocked Zinidan Zidan and caused him to be red carded-that man has made me feel a little negative about the Italian Football! Generally I feel the Contributions of Italy to my country through Philanthropists like the late Don Vittorio who worked in Karamoja and AVSI that is working in Northern Uganda currently are just priceless! Thanks for this post ngaspero
is it all true?? oww how beautiful if it is the truth..
