  • Is Italy as Amazing as They Say? In this ultimate travel guide I talk traveling: Verona, Bologna, and Milan, Naples, Cinque Terre, Rome, Naples, unveiling the hidden charms and celebrated wonders of Italy. And what makes Italy so great! (In case you had your doubts!) Whether it's savoring the warmth of the locals or indulging in the diversity of regional specialties like Tiramisu and Florentine steak, I showcase why Italy remains a pinnacle of cultural and culinary delights, from the bustling cities to tranquil countrysides, and why it should top your travel bucket list.

    Great video as always Gregor. We first went to Italy it was for our 25th wedding anniversary (we are back in Rome later this year for our 38th wedding anniversary) and like you fell in love with the country. Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and Sorrento all visited. We love the people who are so friendly which is why I learnt the language, we love the food, wine scenery history. Travel is so good especially the trains. We simply love Italy.

    I'm going to Italy for 2 weeks next month. Since you asked what I'm most excited to see, there are two things. Firstly, I'm really excited to go to Volterra and see the Etruscan ruins and how the city evolved over the course of thousands of years. Secondly, I'm really excited to go to Dario Cecchini's butcher shop and "see" how much steak I can eat without throwing up.

    Greg...I am ready to move to Italy from the USA. I have dual citizenship. I speak the language and I have been to Italy many times. There are so many beautiful places, I can't make up my mind where to live. I'm thinking Tuscany, Umbria, or Lazio. Would like to live in a small town near a metropolis. Any ideas! Thanks. ❤️🇮🇹❤️ 11:15

      If I may, I recommend you take a look in the Lake Garda area (Desenzano etc.). It's a wonderful area, very "Italian style" and you have everything close by (airports, cities, amusement parks, etc.). You're at the lake but you're two hours from the sea. It is a "second homeland" for the Dutch and Germans, the Americans should start to get to know it.

    How were you able to emigrate to Italy? Do you have dual citizenship? Anyway, I loved all the points you made in this video. I'd add one more. Italy has the sort of vibe the US had 50 years ago. It's so safe and there is a sense of community that you don't easily find in the US anymore. I feel like my kids are growing up here the same way I did back in 1970s Massachusetts.

      @@gabrielesantucci6189 You're misunderstanding me too. I meant that my kids are far more independent here in Italy than American kids of the same age are in the way that I was independent when I was a kid. Here they can ride their bikes around and I feel ok because people are looking out, we know all our neighbors, and I don't feel anxious about them being out on their own. In the US we barely knew our neighbors, kids are not out on their own until they are in their teen years, and there is always a concern they will get into trouble. Unless you have lived in both countries like I have, you won't truly understand how wonderful it is here in that regard. I don't mean that Italy is not as developed as the US at all. On the contrary, I feel like there are many ways that Italy is past the US.
