But I just can't believe that an American teenager, of all people, just rubbished such culture, history, tradition and international treasures.

But really, people from wherever Esternarx id from must really be some stuck-up bastards to be so derogatory of such a great, historic, and beautiul country. Italy is a helluva lot nicer to look upon than America. Its my second favority country, next to Croatia.

Maybe... just maybe... he might, perhaps, have been making a joke.

And giant stupid SUVs suck. Especially Hummers. They're so huge! They're ugly and smelly and I hate them. So there.

They're fine. I don't mind SUVs that get good gas mileage. My Dad even drives a Honda CRV. It's the ones that get gallons to the mile that annoy me.

Externax Exagerate but he take a point...Florence(i live near it in Prato) is a Tourist trap with only one o two place cleaned and the rest of the city ugly and with trash.

Rome go better and it has notingh to invidiate to no other capital in the wolrd; is cleaned and beautiful and also Napoli(altrhoug thre's many work to do) is in good shape.

To CE: Thanks for supporting this country but if live here i dubt you like this much.

To Wadj: Yes we have change goves since Mussolini but Dc was ever present in evrey gov since 1946.

I have promise the Laws of our "Beloved" president here the laws of President Silvio:

Successions it is Donations - The first provision of the Government. The tax of succession is repealed on the great ones it inherits' and on the donations, after the Amato government had abolished that on the normal ones, up to a billion of liras.

Societyes Right / False In Budget - Through delegates law the government redrawn its 'governance' of the societies', and it has depenalizzato the crime of forgery in budget.(Its a lwa tha now allow frauds over fisco)

GASPARRI act - One of the more discussed acts of the legislature: it raises the antitrust limit (so much that if Mediaset acquired the Expresso Group it would respect the roofs of it) and from' the away to the digital earthling, that allows therefore to Mediaset and the Rai (what however' has abdicated...imagine wahy?) to enter the lucrative market of the Tv rights of the kick and the sport.

Fiscal shield - In financial terms the greatest success of Giulio Tremonti. It consisted in a remission of the capitals exported to the foreign countries and it has brought in the Boxes of the State 59,6 million of European in the first edition (2002) and 18,4 in the second (2003). It is necessary to add the repeated fiscal remissions promoted by Tremonti (the last in 2004).
In real world a propaganda laws(The remission are always come for the rich)

International requests / Law CIRAMI / Lodo SCHIFANI - this is the most criticized law by the centrosinistra, that has spoken of '' laws to personam ''(Are a complex of three acts). The first law discipline the procedure of the international (the Milanese Pms had asked some of it in Switzerland for the trials against Previti) requests.
The Cirami allows the accused to ask the change of the judging judge if there pits the '' legitimate suspect '' that he is not impartial. The bystander foresees an improceedbility' in the respects of the tall positions of the lasting State their order. The Lodo Schifani and' however' is rejected, for one part of his, from it Consults her/it.

FINI-BOSSI/SANATORIA - the more' great confirmation for immigrants ever launched in Europe: 700 thousand people, above all colf and minding. But the law has also introduced the fact that the residence permission (what it passes from three to two years of duration)' is tied up to the job. Turn also in the expulsions.
Because the law not comntemple the children a family may been split and the child can remain in Italy up 18 year old after this time he can be re-impatriate.

Conflict Interests - this Law promise in the first 100 days, but is in reality' approved after three years. The authority' Antitrust will owe' to watch over on the actions of the premier and the ministers because' in them a conflict of affairs doesn't shape him. And' anticipated the incompatibility' between positions of government and the management of the enterprises but not the ownership.'
Infact Silvio has given his emterprises to his son and his Wife...just respect of the law...or not?

There are also good laws that and generally are lwas that are not connected with him

here the complete laws of this gov http://www.ansa.it/main/notizie/rubriche/
approfondimenti/20050420190633391077.html

And this is the last intervention of our premier at the Entrerprisers Confederation

Hummers are by far the biggest waste of American money I've ever seen the public drive. They were built for the military and they should have stayed in the military. THE ONLY way I would own one is if I have 50 archers to drive it on. But then again I really don't like many SUV's to start with. Give me a chevy Z71 any day :D B)

^_^ I feel better now and I've never been to Italy sadly so I can't comment, though I will say this, I'm not about to pay money to use a bathroom.

An I really wish we'd put more government funding into alternative power sources and fuels, but that's a rant for a different topic.

I have never been to Italy, though I want to visit Florence and Venice before I die. I would also love to spend some time in the Italian countryside, perhaps in a rented villa. Rome, to me, is just another huge city, though I wouldn't mind spending a few days (and nights) there. It is a shame that Italian men can be such assholes to women, but, I can take that with a sense of humor.

Spain, I love. Can't wait to go back.

Rome is a beautifull city(the more beautifull city in the world according to me) has nathing to envy to any other capital in the world.

Florence is not well managed and it is a tuorist trap(Belive me i'm here three day a week) but if you want came to Florence came also a Prato(It's no Florence but is good for on-day visit).
Venice is fantastic...

I like Spain too, Madrid is very beautifull

Spent a long time in Madrid, so far my favorite city on earth, and the night life is to die for, as is the food, the culture, and the people!

Spent time in Toledo and Granada, as well as Ronda - of the three, Granada was the coolest!

Rented a private villa in Marbella with a private pool! Naked swimming, late night drunken orgies, you know the usual stuff. Marbella itself was too touristy - the Germans and the Brits really spoiled the experience. Also spent time in Torremolenos (sp?) because of its reputation (well deserved) of being the gay mecca on the Costa del Sol.

Next time, need to check out Seville, Barcellona, and the north. What I really like about Spain is that it is where 4 powerful cultures clashed together over centuries, and there is an adventure around every corner!!

Spaniards are very similar to Italian people(Well they are modern, we are in the middleage but the cultural and ethnic stock is the same)...
I have found Spain a very beautifull place but my favourite country is sure Greece and its bizantine history...(Misthra is very fantastic)

Oh my God. I don't believe what I have just read. Italy is the BEST country in the world. Such a stupid, trashy, arrogant American teenager.

Amen to that...

Thanks CE, I am fed up of having France being constantly thrashed by some dumb arrogant Americans also, especially the wine... :angry:

Meh. Both France and Italy have their bad points, but also their good ones.

I'd say their good points outweigh their bad ones, and I really hope to visit both someday, although I'd rather go to Germany.
