I love to read about what foreign people like about Italy. I am Italian and Ilove this list, so true both as far as ‘positive’ aspects are concerned – history, art, slow pace – and as far as ‘less pleasant’ aspects – lines and toilets (oops!). Thank you Timeless Italy!
With every trip I make to Italy, I find that after I return home to the states I’m constantly looking for that laid-back piazza. A place that reminds me of those things I love so much about Italy. I have come close to finding it, but not entirely. I keep searching for that slow-paced, friendly and relaxing atmosphere that feels so much like I’m really ‘home.’

So what is it that pulls at heartstrings when you mention the word, “Italy?” I’ve given this a lot of thought and wrote down the things I’ve grown to love and miss when I’m away.

Lovely post, Italy is on my mind all of the time. I visit as often as I can. Lucky enough to live in Colorado, which is pretty special too!
Ciao Sandra. Colorado is awesome! Grazie mille for stopping by 🙂
Fun analysis Simona! I think the things the blogger wrote about family and smaller town traditions are why we all love your blog. Wishing a trip to Italy were in our plans ahead… blessings to you friend. xo
I love to see Italy through foreing people’s eyes! They all help me to appreciate Italy more than I already do! They also help me to see our week points – such as lines and toilets 😉
