I have a soft spot for Italy. In the first place because of prog, but also because of Latin (I loved to learn that language), Roman myths and legends, Toscane (Tuscany?), Mt. Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli & Vulcano, because of prog related people like Alice and Angelo Branduardi, because of the language which is pure poetry (I mean, even "E pericoloso sporgersi" and "Acqua non potabile" sound like pure poetry, with all those words ending with nouns), because of Il Ladro Di Biciclette and Il Ladro Di Bambini and L'America, because of Marcello Mastroianni, because of Federico Fellini, because of all those wonderful pasta variations, because of Jacovitti (cartoon writer who wrote Cocco Bill and Zorry Kid), because of legendary soccer clubs like AC Milan and Internazionale, and Juventus which is nicknamed old lady if I'm not mistaken, but Juventus means youth so I don't understand, but well, what I wanted to say is... forza Italia! |

I love Italy. Many, many years ago as a student of Geology I did fieldworks in Pianello di Cagli and the next year in Pieve St. Stefano. Later I visited the Cinque Terre near La Spezia (also for geology), which is extremely beautiful (Suppa di datteri (I hope I spell it right)?) The country is beautiful and the people very nice and friendly. I went back many times for holidays. The music is, as Micky says, the cherry on the top. The most beautiful and interesting country of Europe! ------------- To be the one who seeks so I may find .. (Metallica) |

Italy is a fabulous country. The art and architecture are stunning, most of the women are stunning, the coffee is sublime, driving on the autostrada's unreal....the only thing I struggle with are the politics (Berlusconi and the like) and the corruption (Berlusconi, football, mafia, housing scandals). I have a long term plan to move to Italy and I'm wearing an Italia shirt as I type... ------------- Proud to be an un-banned member since 2005 |

Thanks for the stunning (I don't know whether I really am, but it's nice to believe it for a while )!. Unfortunately, what you say about the politics and the corruption is true, and I can assure you that it's not easy to live with it. I was severely damaged in my professional life by a very small, everyday episode of corruption, and that made me even more rabidly against it.BTW, should you really want to move here, you'd be most welcome - as all prog fans would be! |

 , culture and design ) and would love it a lot more if it was not for:

For all - music, history, and of course, Rafaella and always ours MANDRAKEROOT.
It seems to me Italians feel the beauty like no any other nation, that is why they created wonderful architecture, music, paintings etc. Because of this sence of beauty even ordinary things like door-handles are nice in Italy. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why...

Italian music is great Vivaldi, Corelli, Albioni, and many great prog. bands.
Italian food is also very good.
Italy has magnificient painters and some truly great writers and poets ranging from Dante to Buzzati.
Italy has beautiful cities with great architecture, too bad that I have not seen any of them.
Last but not least, on this forum there are many nice forum members from Italy.
Greetings to all Italian prog. fans!

Ahh, If only I had seen this thread sooner Raffaella. You are high up on the list of things I love about Italy.  I spent a good part of the day listening to Italian opera, both at work and on my iPod. My fanboyism is soaring. I really must get there soon. ------------- a.k.a.

For All, Italy has so many stuff to be proud of, especially for having Mandrakeroot as one of its nation sons
Actually, their cultural history as the Cradle of renaissance and of course, their prog bands are great and their women, too
Viva Italia!!! -------------
