I think Italy is a lovely country, though Milano is very built up which is a bit off-putting.
I think Italians, for the most part, are kind and well-meaning. As with any country there are some rude and irritating people but luckily the kind ones over-shadow them.
Yes, I have been there many times and am returning again this Summer.

I agree 100% with Praetorian...( thumbs up to you :D ) these people here that answered don't know what they are talking about, or are just jealous that they dont live in Italy....... I think our country is the nicest in the world man... and I have known many Americans and Australians who think the same...... ehehe I mean where else has such a wonderful culture, food,art,architecture, language,style,fashion, food,music,family values, ect than us Italians? :}

well i have heard good thing and bad things about it, i live in the UK and any Italian people i have spoken to have been very friendly people, no i have never been there, and no i don't think i would like to go to Italy, this being down to my not liking canal waters as i can't swim.

I think Italy is beautiful, and I think the people who live there are skinny and impeccably dressed. Amazing food, delicious pastries, yummy cappuccinos. I'm American, so I don't know if my answer counts for your survey. And, yes, I have been to Italy and would go back in a second.

Well , I've never been to Italy but I will so . Venice is something you have to visit really . As far as the nation , well I've been hearing from different different folks that they are more like Eastern people in comparison to other European nations .

I am American and not Australian so I don't know if this helps, but just in case it does.
~I really love Italia, it is amazing all the history and beauty of one country. The food was too delicious and the wine was very good.
~The Italians we met were really friendly. My friend speaks fluent Italian but everyone loved to speak English to us (which was good for me because I don't speak any Italian!)
~I have been there only once and I dream of going back, I can't wait to go back!
~We went to Rome, Florence and Venice, and Rome was my favorite city in the world, it was s amazing, I am jealous you get to live there!

I love the scenery and weather but I found the people to be a bunch of rude, unhelpful, sneaky, dirty, pushy thieves. the women were bitter and the men were creepy. I loved the food though :)


Jess
I'm American, so you can cheat a little ;-)

I went to Venice and I thought it was great. Beautiful city, though we went during a double holiday so it was packed full. I love Venice though

Italians- Depends, those in the touristing business are nice. Busy business men, not so much. We got a lot of bad looks and glares, but I think this is because we are American, and we aren't liked. People hit us and ran through us, it was kind of...bad.

Yes, I've been to Venice, Italy.

I'd like to go to Florence, and Pisa and Rome...all those places. Explore a little more.


Taylor&#39;s Dad
Although I am American, let me answer your questions one by one:

Italy is a beautiful country with dramatic mountains, beautiful seacoast, and enchanting lakes. Rome, Florence, Naples, Venice, Pisa, and Sienna are some of the most beautiful cities on earth. The small towns like San Gimignano are fascinating and often beautiful as well.

The Italian people -- especially outside of the big cities -- are among the kindest and friendliest in the world. The welcome strangers and are always appreciative of any attempt to speak a little Italian. Everyone in Italy has a family member or friend who has emigrated to the US. You might just meet someone who knows someone you know.

I lived in Rome for more than three years and have returned to visit Italy at least 50 times (yes, 50 times) since I left there.

We'll be back again next year. The country will still be beautiful, the people will still be great, and the cuisine and wine will always make me feel right at home.

Viva Italia!
