I've been to Italy twice. Last time was on 9/11.
Last year I visited England during the heat wave. It rained briefly one night. We backpacked the countryside and hiked much on the South Downs Way.
We're going back this August.
Been to Germany and Austria too.
IMO England and the English are tops. Same same the cask ales: Old Speckled Hen and Wadworth 6X.
If I had to move, I'd move to England but I don't want to live next to Madonna.

These alone are worth moving to England for ! Can't get these in Japan , but I was fortunate to be able to procure 10 cases each of Black Sheep " Monty Python " and Riggwelter ale ! Should last me until the end of September !
