The "la Dolce Vita" used to exsist, but has not been that way for a long time. I do not call un and underemployment, high cost of living and low wages "la Dolce Vita". Italy has one of the lowest birthrates in the world, and has recently only slightly increased, due to IMMIGRANTS having children here. Without immigrants, who knows what may in store for the future of Italy as we know it. Immigrants accept jobs that some Italians would not even consider doing. Legal immigrants live, work and pay their taxes, contributing to the economy. Immigration yes can have a negative influence on a country (aka illegal immigration), but if a person is here legally, adapts to the culture, language etc, yet bringing their own qualities and skills to the country, everyone benefits. Italians just need to wake up to this fact. Just because someone is from a foreign country does not mean they should be shunned like an outcast. I have been here for over 4 years, learned the language, adpated to life here, have become an Italian citizen but yet I am still considered a foreigner.

I think it is a wonderful country with amazing and beautiful people. The culture is phenomenal. Life is truly amazing and the envy of the world. Who has not heard about "la dolce vita"?
My only fear is that external influences and immigration will not only ruin the country, but also change/destroy the Italian culture and way of living forever.
As wonderful and diverse as Italy and Italian culture is, it is unique and very fragile. I also do not think that Italians understand and appreciate what they have in Italy. I am sure that living in America you can not appreciate it better, but the Italians in Italy have no idea what a treasure they have.
I hope Italians learn to appreciate and protect what they have and maybe get rid of some red tape in government affairs. ;-)

I love Italy! I've lived in both Siena and Florence, two of the most beautiful places on earth.
I hope to return to Italy soon. My dream is to own a piece of farmland there...raise my children, teach them about Italian culture, and of course, teach them how to speak Italian.
I am curious, why did you come to the U.S., and which part of the country are you in? Also, what do you think of America? Do you like Americans? Personally, I love this country. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I love Italy too, but America, especially L.A. has so much cultural diversity. When I was in Italy, I missed the cultural diversity of the States.
I hope you enjoy your stay in the U.S.. And remember, don't believe everything you read about us. We have our faults, as do all people, but Americans are some of the friendliest people. As long as you remain open-minded, they will embrace you!
Viva Italia! Viva America!

Well my great grand parents came from Messina. I have never been to Italy, but would love to go one day. I love having an Italian family, I like it on holidays too! Not only is there turkey and all the fixings, there is always enough pasta to feed an army...lol.

GO HOME MAN. Why would you want to live here when you could be living in Italy. I lived in Italy for 5 years and absolutely loved it. Like anywhere else it has it's idiosyncrasies but when you consider the total package you will see it's wrapped in X-mas paper.

I think that you made a mistake when you moved away from the most beautiful country Italy to US!
