"Italy" Italy by utttz

Italy Travel Guide: 69,106 reviews and 184,859 photos

work in slow progress....
Italy is more than a country... italy is more than 20 really different regions with different culture, languages, cuisine....
I do think the best of Italy is out of the traditional touristic circuit rome, florence, venice and pisa. I don't want to say you don't have to visit rome and so on... you can't miss those town... but you really begin to understand italy when you go out.
try this under construction site http://www.realvista.it or some good VT page about italy:
dnwitte: a really good writing about italy
loubess: nice pics about riviera ligure, near genoa and the mountains area near trento
you can find a good photo gallery in sim1 italy page
another "almost complete" page about italy is Star_dust's page, a pretty huge work about italy

just hope not to need these numbers

Police (Polizia) only real emergency or when you can't call the other numbers 113
Carabinieri 112
Fire (vigili del fuoco) 115

Interesting stuff. Personally I would disagree with you about Taormina and poor old Caltagirone didn't get a mention. So much to see, so little time!

So much fun to read your pages for an "insider's" point of view. Thanks for tips; they are quite helpful. I truly enjoyed Liguria while I was there and hope others go to see the beauty.
