What does Italy give you
 

that other countries dont?

Hi,

Italian wine, Italian food, Italian scenery, and 'la dolce far niente'.

And let's not forget Italians.

gelato

A slice of heaven, here on earth.

Oh, so many memories. And, Venice, of course.

Italy gives me anticipation. Five weeks of anticipation.

And then we shall be there!!!!

" La Joie de Vivre"

ira, babelfish translates "la dolce far niente" as "the cake to make nothing". :-))

Italy gives me fabulous 2-hour long lunches/dinners (or longer) with a sip of grappa afterwards.

Limoncello.

Real tomatoes.

In fact, it's "il dolce far niente", dolce being sweet, not cake. So, " the sweet doing nothing".

To me, food, wine, Italians, art, design, and the lovely language.

Happiness. Serenity. Limoncello.
Not necessarily in that order.

Better food than France.
More diverse scenery than Switzerland.
Friendlier people than Germany.
The finest art in the world.
Pleasant climate.
