The food, the history, the music, the art, the passion, the vindictive road rage….I love it all

1) With almost 40 million visitors, Italy is the fourth most visited country in the world.

2) The average Italian consumes 26 gallons of wine a year and 25 kilograms of pasta a year.

3) has three active volcanoes: Vesuvius, Etna, and Stromboli

4) Rome is over 2,000 years old.

5) Pinocchio was first published in an Italian newspaper,

6) Italy has over 1500 lakes

7) has the oldest population in Europe

8)The first ever bank started in Italy (Genoa in 1149. )

9) Fourteen billion espressos are consumed in Italy each year

10) Italy's last king ruled for just 36 days (9 May to 12 June 1946)

Been to Italy a few times, Went to venice and went to Palermo in sicily, (I dont know what its like now but while in Palermo i found it really hard to breathe).... We also in 2008 we went to Pompeii and while looking for a fridge magnet at the shop at the end, the old guy who ran it was curious where we were from, his whole face lit up when I said “Scozzese“ shook my hand, hugged me, brought out a signed photo of sean connery who he met in the 60s, introduced me to his mum who was 105 years old sitting in the corner with a jesus cross in one hand, cigarette in the other, and she blessed me..., I only came here for a magnet....

also note the Roman nose….if you are a girl who has one, let me just say as a guy i see nothing wrong with them. if you can breathe through it your fine.
