1. It’s probably written in Italian Law somewhere that you need to put down the diet and pick up the carbs.
2. There’s a region called Abruzzo that is so gorgeous and untouched by tourists that I could throw up from happiness.
3. Italian’s are one of the friendliest bunch in the whole wide world…
4. You can go to the Colosseum and shout ‘are you not entertained?!’ at the top of your lungs.
5. The sunset’s are just perfect!
6. Life doesn’t get much better than sitting outside of the Duomo in Florence with a glass of wine.
7. Nights out will probably lead to you joining an impromptu street party outside of a food van that’s complete with music and free wine at 7am.
8. You can fail so hard at getting a picture with the Leaning Tower of Pisa that you win…
9. You might go to Naples and find that there is a random Music festival happening on the beach…
10. Italian men!
11. Instead of a drunk emotional goodbye in the kebab shop at 3am when you or your friend is leaving the Country, it will be a drunk, emotional goodbye at the Trevi Fountain at 3am with noone around…
12. You can be on a segway and still feel the most majestic you’ve ever felt in your life.
13. It’s perfectly acceptable for you to fondle strangers moustaches.
14. Gelato!!
15. It might be the only place in the World that you will find someone to feed you oranges every time you go to a specific bar.
16. The snow can make somewhere ugly look magical…
17. The Italian’s will always get your name right on the first go…
Lazy? Nope…
Lezzie? Still no…
Elizabetta? That will do.
Today I’m having the biggest I miss Italy day…

So much yes to the carbs. My fond memories of Italy when I visited from London for a week were: pasta, pasta, cannolis, pasta, bread, and gelato. Love it.
