Why do so many Americans vacation in Italy and buy homes there? There is a love affair going on between America and Italy. Maybe it’s that we have so many Italians in America and even more Italian restaurants that it feels familiar. I think it goes deeper than that. Italy has obvious charm:
- Old cities with buildings we can’t see in America
- Famous places we read about
- Clean beaches
- Majestic mountains
- Walled mountain top cities that are so unique to us
- Cities like Venice that are unbelievable
- Food that is so much better than anything we get back home
- Cheap table wine that rivals the best of wines
- Italians love for life
- Italians love for Americans
Is it any wonder we look to visits this country over and over again? The views take our breath away. We want a piece of it. If you haven’;t yet been to Italy, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Go and see the major cities: Rome, Florence, Naples, Venice and Milan. See smaller cities like Capri, Positano, Amalfi, Verona (Romeo & Juliet). Get off the beaten path and see small walled cities with fantastic views. Experience chocolate in Perugia (home of Perugina chocolates – Baci). Go to Assisi and Siena and my favorite San Gimignano. Don’t miss Tuscany,
Many towns, such as San Gimignano, were enclosed with walls, causing crowding and the building of tower houses. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Orvieto and Pompeii.
Italy has so much to offer it would take a life time to see it all. So don’t wait, get started on your adventure.
