My Top Ten from Living in this wonderful country:
10. Proximity to other countries. Within two hours you can be in about 25 different countries with completely different cultures. If you want a well rounded education...Europe.
9. Fashion. How many designers are from Italy? (Point made.) Walk down the street, how many people do you see in sweat pants? Multiply this number by 300. The answer...0. (Point made again.)
8. History. My country is about 300 years old. Italy is about 3000 years old. Through the ages, they have been a huge power and influence on the world. Where do you think the toga party started? Thank you Romans.
7. Wine. Ask a friend where the best wine in the world comes from. Even if they have never tasted wine, they know the correct answer is Italy.
6. Cities. Name the most romantic and visited cities in the world. Ok, how many were in Italy? Exactly.
5. Scenery. Watch any good chick flick. Where is the getaway? The Tuscan countryside.
4. Lifestyle. Morning coffee. Slow pace to work. Friendly faces. Huge delicious lunch. Delightful afternoon in an old yet lovely city. Meet friends. Wine and apertivo. Fantastic dinner. Stroll through a orange lit street.
3. Art. All of the Ninja Turtles were named after Italian artists. How much more proof do you need?
2. Food. Pizza. Pasta. Gelato. Wine. Tiramisu. Limoncello. Olives. Cheese. Bread.
1. Romance. Italians are in love with love. And when you love the way Italians do, there is no better way to say it than Ti Amo.
