Benvenuti in Italia!!

by sargentjeff - last update: Mar 10, 2003

Places in Italy
Bella Italia. We lived in Vicenza for two years, and Naples for six months. I have come to love Italy as a home. Although I'm from the US, we will probably stay here when I leave the military. My wife is Italian, so there are definite reasons settle down here. I've made the Italy page a bit general, and will put travelogues here that don't fit close to a major city. See my city pages for more detail on other areas

I have truly learned to enjoy the italian ways, but in order to do so, had to relax many of my American expectations and innate notions on the way things "ought to be". Well, Italy is much older than the US, albeit not as a united nation, but the architecture alone is older than our nation.

Take time to see as many of the smaller cities as you can, beauty and interesting things are always out there somewhere. I have been here two years and still continue to find something new and interesting to do or see. Italy won't fail to impress you either.
Visit my city pages for more specific info

Remember to check my city pages and Travelogues.
MOLTO GRAZIE!! This page is always under construction.

a few useful sites:

Napoli e Vesuvio

Naples, Underrated, but full of life!

My wife is from Napoli, and I have spent over half a year in Partenope. There is so much here to experience that you need to go see for yourself. Check out my Naples page for lots of info.

To know more than Museums

You've got to explore all over the place. This particular shot was taken from a window in the National Archeological Museum in Naples. It's a typical site you may see in the heart of big cities.

Pros:"Great culture, food, cites and history"

In A Nutshell:"I love Italy, and will live here once I leave the Army"

 Paolo is very accomodating and super friendly. I've eaten in his restaurant a few times and have never been disappointed. His porterhouse for 2 is the best steak I've ever had...bar none!

 Hi I just uploaded some cool Cure photos on my site from the 2004 tour if you want to check them out. I am so sorry your first show got rained out, but I assume it was fine when you saw them in Germany.
