"That strange and unique place" Italy by MiniMaxi


Italy Travel Guide: 83,443 reviews and 170,908 photos

Italy is really a strange place. Look at it from a map. Long, thin, narrow, surrounded by the seas, yet full of mountains. Then look at its people: so little space, yet such a crowded country. So close regions, yet so different people, different local languages (dialects), different foods, different costumes. Italy is a compressed blend of aromas, a strange mixture of races and emotions.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Diversity, all around
  • Cons:Rules and laws are many times optionals
  • In a nutshell:A rainbow, full of colors, good and bad ones.
