What do you think about this country?

I am English but I have lived in Italy twice - once in Padova and once in Roma. One day I hope to return. For now, I am stuck in Saudi Arabia - a country more different to Italy you could never find!
Abingdon, the town in England I used to live in had civic links (tipo gemellata) to Lucca, just down the road from you. So I used to go there nearly every year. I still have friends there even now and I am returning in July to go to a big Italian wedding. Non vedo l'ora!
I've only been to Florence once (che vergogna..!), but I am keeping the best until last! My mother, mad woman that she is, goes there on day trips (from Oxford..!!) with her friends to look at the art and eat ribollita.
I hope they take care of the city because it's the most beautiful I have ever seen.
One question: Are you tired of people from outside Florence asking you to say "Hoha Hola"?

Reunite time and again and you however will not see all of it, this is what will happen for you if you may spend your holiday in Florence; with hotelbye you will see out more. Surprisingly small since it is, that riverside town looms big on the world's'must-sees'list. Cradle of the Renaissance and of tourist masses that head here to feast on world-class artwork, Florence is a magnetic, intimate and busy city. The Piazzale Michelangelo (The Michelangelo Square) is among the places you have to see in Florence. That square is just a big, partially pedestrian zed square situated across the Arno River from the heart of Florence. From the square readers have a superb see over the city. The roomy square was laid out in 1860 by Giuseppe Poggi, a local architect who is also noted for his development of boulevards around the hub of Florence. Situated at the heart of the city's principal market region, the Basilica di San Lorenzo is one of the oldest churches of Florence and was the burial place of all the principal people of the Medici family. Don't wait! Florence and its superb gifts await your visit!

I've been all over, but only three times to Italy - Rome, Naples and Limone on Lake Garda. All were absolutely mind-bogglingly wonderful, but all were tourist destinations. The Amalfi coast is particularly gorgeous.
Italy is my favourite holiday destination.
I have liked Italians very much since 1970 when Carlo and Agostino opened Salon 70 (hairdressing) in Sunderland, and Pizzeria Pinnochio opened - the first Italian restaurant in Sunderland. Happy days!

i love Italian language and culture. And Florence is one of the most beautiful cites in Italy (for me on the first place are Venice and Rome)

I love Italian people, I have been to Sardinia / Sardegna and traveled through the north of Italy to get onto Sardinia. Italy is great, good food and passionate (but the heat makes everyone crazy for or something) people. I love and loved it!
