Out
of all the places I have been privileged to travel to, Italy has been my
favorite. There are five main reasons why I love Italy, and you should too.
First of all, for the cities and towns themselves. Each city and town has a
different atmosphere and it is interesting to see how the old and the modern
architecture come together. Rome, for instance, is full of bustling streets and
stylish shops but if you take a second to look around you can notice all of the
history that is has to offer (such as the forum, Palatine hill, and the
Colosseum). Every place you can visit has different and unique specialties to
offer. The second reason is for the food. Whether you go to a fancy restaurant
or a very inexpensive one, you will almost always be served a meal that is
delicious and was prepared with skill. For example, the pizzas are usually
baked in a wood-burning stove. The most famous pizza is the Italian Pizza Margherita,
which is named after the Italian queen and is meant to represent the Italian
flag (red is the tomatoes, white is the dough, and green is the basil). Another
of the best offerings is the gelato, which comes in flavors varying from
chocolate to tutti frutti. The third reason is the beauty. The landscape,
architecture, weather and style all help to make Italy such a beautiful place
to visit. The fourth reason is the shopping. Even if you are just
window-shopping, you will have a nice time. The quality of the window displays
is remarkable. From local shops and markets to famous designers such as Prada and
Jimmy Choo, there is a shop for everything and everyone. The fifth reason is
the people. It is fun to watch the
Italians go about their daily life with an air of grace. Even in the heat of
the summer in the city the men and women always look unruffled and elegant. Also,
their family values are something to really be appreciated. Overall, Italy is
really a beautiful place and it definitely deserves a spot on your travel itinerary.
