Extreme climates all year round, difficulties in reaching the end of the month due to too high prices, scarcity of activities to do... these are some of the characteristics that have good or bad in common all the nations of the world, especially European ones. Italy is one of the few places to enjoy a mild climate, not too cold winters and hot summers but at the same time refreshing. Living in Italy is, for this reason, one of the best choices you can make. Why? Today we will give you ten reasons.

  • Artistic and cultural heritage. Once set foot in Italy it is difficult to ignore its historical and artistic side coming from thousands of years of history. It is no coincidence that 51 of the UNESCO sites are located exactly in Italy, where precisely the concentration is the highest ever especially if we compare to the size of the nation. These sites are entirely open to visitors and some of these, while being hidden, offer unforgettable moments.

 

  • Fascinating cities. Many of Italy’s cities are world heritage sites. The cities of Verona and Venice, the historic center of Florence, Naples and Rome: they are just a few of the names we can name here, but the list is much richer and longer. In these cities there are not only very characteristic places, but they represent in themselves a priceless wealth that Italy could not do without. Visiting these places will make you realize that in Italy at every corner there is a different paradise to discover.

 

  • The landscapes. In Italy, natural attractions are also part of the nation’s cultural heritage. We talk about the Dolomites, the Aeolian Islands in the North of Sicily and many other scenic and characteristic points that make Italy one of the most evocative places ever. The diversity of the landscape that characterizes it allows a different point of view for each region that you go to visit. In Italy you can find the rugged mountains of the north, the warm enveloping beaches of the south, and the immense plains and natural parks of the center. The same climatic diversity allows you to make in fact any type of holiday, with the possibility of skiing in winter and diving in the water in summer.

 

  • The weather. The weather in Italy is one of the most envied in the world. This is because its characteristic position is located in the middle of Europe and for this reason it is equipped with hot but not annoying summers and mild winters that still allow lovers of alpine skiing to have fun in the mountains.

 

  • Passion. Italians are known all over the world for being passionate, emotional and certainly open to show their feelings without any problem. This feature makes them perfect since in Italy you will never feel alone. Their way of welcoming foreigners is unique in the world and is driven by the desire to make everyone feel part of the territory. The Italian passion can be seen in every area of life, not only in the social, but also in the artistic, working and so on! Surely Italy is one of the most fascinating cities ever.

 

  • The italian itself. The Italian language is one of the most complex languages to learn, as it has a very complex grammatical stratification to learn and manage. However, Italian is also a very musical language, rich in a history that has its roots in works of great prestige such as the Commedia of Dante, or the works of Petrarch and Boccaccio that have been studied (and imitated) all over the world.

 

  • Universities. If you are thinking of moving to Italy but you also have young children do not neglect a very important detail: the Italian universities. They are famous all over the world for educating the greatest geniuses of medicine, mathematics, engineering. Italian universities are characterized by a very high cultural level, with great content. Some of these are real historical buildings, such as the University of Naples, Bologna, Rome. Unlike other parts of the world, taxes are very low and are based on the income received by the individual. For this reason the university is accessible to all.

 

  • Activities for the elderly. Italy is a very warm place and attentive to the emotional well-being of people. For this reason, there are many groups of pensioners or elderly people who, throughout the year, do various activities. To be able to join these groups there are never costs, they are all based on proximity and association sharing and it is for this reason that they are very active throughout the territory.

 

  • Food and wine. It is impossible not to fall in love with Italy if you are in love with good food. Here you can not only find the highest form of pizza (do not forget that it was invented in Naples!) but you can also enjoy completely different dishes, both omnivorous and vegetarian, suitable for all palates. Even the wine is a typical Italian production, much loved and very sold especially in the northern territories. If you are a fan of cooking, remember that in Italy you can take many cooking classes to learn how to cook a great pasta or a great pizza!

 

  • The people. There are many stereotypes about Italian hospitality. While some of these are an exaggeration, others are true: it is true that the Italian is always ready to help his neighbor, even if this should be foreign. Italians are not afraid to create physical contact, in fact one of the typical greetings is the classic kiss on both cheeks, a very used way instead of the classic handshake known all over the world. For a more reserved person it could be traumatic, but it is nothing more than a demonstration of affection and friendship.
