"That strange and unique place" Italy by MiniMaxi

Italy Travel Guide: 83,982 reviews and 173,265 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.
