Mmmh, even though the first photo starts with cork, for me it's a Vitro

Where in Italy are you Roberto? I spent 2 weeks in Tuscany in 1999 about an hour outside of Florence in Montecatini Terme. What a beautiful region of your country! Pisa, Lucca, Volterra, San Gimignano, Arrezo, Florence, Siena, Vinci. I loved them all!

Hi,

I am in Lombardy, in Brescia (northern Italy), between Milan and Lake Iseo and Lake Garda. This second one is wonderful, (I adore it!)  it feels like being in maritime areas, in fact it is described as "a sea between the Alps and the Po Valley"( I spend my summer weekends here ). But, even Lake Iseo has its charming spots, unfortunately with very few beaches, but beautiful to spend the day.

Then there is Lake Como, with its beautiful luxurious historic villas, so much so that George Clooney purchased one of these villas in 2002. Those who want to see beautiful 'houses' must go here!

 

Yes, Tuscany is loved by all Italians. The cities you mentioned are wonderful

Also, beaches, mountains, pine forests, yes, beautiful region!

Sounds wonderful! Lake Como gets all the press but I’ve never heard of the other two. Lake Garda sounds delightful. I’ve seen a fair amount of Europe, and without question, Italy was my favorite place. I doubt I’ll ever have the chance to return to Europe but if I do it’s back to Italy so I can explore Northern and Southern Italy. Has mass migration been an issue in Italy as it has in pole European countries and the UK?

[Roberto]

Yes, Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and also enjoys a mild winter climate, so much so that lemons and oranges are cultivated, ( not to mention the precious olive oil), just 50/100 km (31/62 mi) away is no longer possible without necessary protection.

ENCHANTING places even in the south!

Well, without a doubt, this immigration has generated not a few tensions here in Italy, as in the rest of Europe

We hope that this phenomenon of immigration will be managed in the best possible way

I like the talk between you two--but this is a marble ID link.

Talk all that you want to with the PM ( Personal Message or the
