I would love to go to Italy.

Rome was a city almost a thousand years before Christ was born.
And Northern Italy is supposed to be more like Switzerland than a Mediterranean country.

Just sayin. I’m not a bigtime traveler or anything, just that it’s one of the few places I’d like to see.

I visited Rome for a week last Thanksgiving, visiting my daughter who was doing her semester abroad there. I highly recommend it. it is awe-inspiring to see the antiquity of the place. just random ruins interspersed around the city next to modern things.

I spent a lot of time in Italy. It is hardly a developing nation like some here act.

the only thing I can say about their courts with certainty is that they have a lot of cops, prosecutors and judges killed by the various mafia groups...something we have rarely ever had to endure.
