I'm Italian and I live in the south Marche region, believe me, it's very peculiar! I can get to the sea in just 20 minutes or to mountains in 30 and high ones! We can skiing watching the sea or just enjoy a unique landscape, on clear days watching from Croatian mountains over the Adriatic sea to Gran Sasso mountain, almost 3000m high. Have you noticed I love my land?

Hello Paul, I love it that you did a video on my country (not to mention the two excellent videos about its languages). I will have to point out that you swapped the land measurements of Sardinia and Sicily. Sicily is the largest island of the two. Another point that needs clarifying is Italy's number of governments. Don't get me wrong, Italian politics is absolutely bonkers and frustrating, but that number depends from the fact that Italy doesn't do cabinet reshuffles. A minister may go, but if more need to go, a crisis is opened. The following government may be a copycat of the previous one with only a few names changed. Other countries would simply do a reshuffle. I love my country, I think it's immensely beautiful and that beauty is very diverse: if you visit Tuscany you will see a landscape that is entirely different from that of Piedmont or Sardinia. Unfortunately so many Italians take it all for granted and they don't safeguard that immense beauty. It makes me so mad, I sometimes wish I could live in a less beautiful place but with more reasonable people around.

I have seen Italy five times by now, which is easy for a German like me. I have to say I love this country. What struck me the most was the Almalfi Coast, not far from Naples. You can see villages nestled in the mountains right by the sea, surrounded by terraces of orange trees. It's a little paradise. Almost a nice as this was Finale Ligure and Genoa. But better than all of that are only the people. Italians are simply lovable. If you've never been to Europe, go to Italy. You won't be disappointed.

@@Ekphrasys That's funny. How similar the experiences are, when you do not live in the country you are talking about. I made those experiences, I described in the entry post and to be fair it might have been luck to meet particularly nice people. Btw. Germans are not known for their kindness nor for their hospitality. That only applies to some rural regions. And also only to some people and certainly not Germans in general. Also I would not say Germans are better educated than people from any other Western civilization. You can get this impression if you only move in certain circles, e.g. students. But you then won't see all the dickheads we have here in Germany. And we have a lot of them. Only go to a football match and you'll see the true idiotic nature of a German.

Great video, as always. I lived in Italy as a teenager from 1998 to 2001 and have visited twice since, in 2003 and 2013. What struck me the most about the geography on my last visit was how much lusher it was than Spain. I go to Spain much more often than Italy, and the two countries are often compared, but in reality they look very unalike. Much of Spain is at least semiarid, but most of Italy is fairly lush by comparison. I can't speak for the Mediterranean coast of Spain; maybe it would look more similar to the coastal areas of Italy, but the interior of Spain is much drier.

I was privileged to live in Italy from 1982 to 1985, and I was also able to visit again twice during 1991. My parents and siblings have visited much more recently, so they could probably speak more about what it's like now, but I remember the beaches, the architecture, the amazing mountains, and especially the culture. I loved seeing the various parades and processions, celebrating the festivals, being able to visit castles and ruins and cathedrals, etc. I can't say enough about the food, and I absolutely love the language--well, Toscano, as it was the only variant I learned. Since I was a young child at the time, I don't recall anything really about the constantly changing government, but I do still have friends there who complain about it plenty--it seems to me that if you're speaking with Italians, eventually they'll start complaining about the government (though that may be a universal characteristic). Thanks for the video, Paul!

🇮🇹💪💪💪INCREDIBLE CURIOSITIES ABOUT ITALY The oldest tree in Europe In Italy there is the oldest and largest tree in Europe. We are in Sant'Alfio, in Sicily, in the province of Catania and according to experts there is a tree here, the Chestnut of the Hundred Horses, which is between 3000 and 4000 years old. Its name is linked to a legend that tells of how over 100 horsemen took shelter under its branches during a storm. The shortest river in the world Also in Italy there is a small little river. It is called "Ri" is only 175 meters long and was born in Malcesine, a town in the province of Verona, from a small lake. The path of the Ri river is very short, it crosses the hamlet of Cassone and then flows into the waters of Lake Garda. The Unesco Heritage sites That in Italy there are many natural and artistic beauties is practically a fact. Just look around the main cities to see a monument, a church or a historic place of rare beauty at every corner. Of course, what you might not have expected is that in Italy alone there are 50 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a record that surpasses that of any other country in the world. The smallest restaurant On the subject of curiosity, Italy also boasts a very small restaurant called Solo Per Due and, objectively, it is only for two people because it has only one table. We are in Vacone, in the province of Rieti and this Italian restaurant is the smallest not only in our country, but in the whole world. Active volcanoes The world is full of volcanoes, it is true, but do you know that in Italy there are the only three active volcanoes in all of Europe? Well, it's not a joke, it's really like that and these three scare all the other countries: they are Stromboli, Etna and Vesuvius. The most visited country in the world Every year millions of tourists decide to choose our country as a destination for their holidays and they do so with good reason given that there are so many beauties to admire. However, Italy is so beautiful that it is the fourth most visited country in the world, Italian the fourth most studied language and Italian cuisine is considered the best in the world. The fork was invented in Italy Pasta is one of the emblems of Italy and to eat it, needless to say, we use a fork. What you may not know is that this utensil was probably invented by the Byzantine Roman Empire, but after the fall of the Empire, even the fork seemed to have disappeared. However, when the "calm" was restored, the Italians began to use the fork again and in a short time it spread throughout Europe. The genetic heritage Recent research has shown that the genetic heritage of us Italians is the richest in Europe. The reason is linked to the continuous migrations and isolation of linguistic minorities and to the dialects that persist despite time and evolution. First car with internal combustion engine The invention of the internal combustion engine is attributed to two Tuscans, Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci, who patented it in 1853 The first car powered by a petrol engine was designed and built by an Italian, Eng. Enrico Bernardi in 1884. Nutella was born in Italy When we crave sweet, the first thing we think about, if we are chocolate lovers, is Nutella. This delicious product has all Italian origins: it was invented in Cuneo in 1964 by Ferrero starting from previous experiments on a cream called Supercrema. Recipe? A secret of course. The oldest universities In conclusion, Italy also amazes us for its universities. In fact, our country has the oldest university and film festival in history. These are the University of Bologna, founded in 1088, and the Venice Film Festival, inaugurated in 1932.

I went to Italy in 2012. The first time in my life at age 18 ironically, being a Western European citizen. Usually France, Portugal and Spain were on the top of my list so far. Either way, Venice is more beautiful than what it looks like in images. I also remember the interesting contrast, as you were leaving the Alps and driving through the Italian countryside in the Po Valley, which is as flat as the Netherlands basically. Then, going over the Appanine Mountains too, as we were heading towards Tuscany, including the village where known Tenor singer, Andrea Bocelli was born. Lots of geographical diversity.

It just seems like the system itself could be improved if the government changes so often. They obviously have proportional representation and have to piece together coalitions. There are good aspects of a system like that, ie. people can vote for a more specific party that better represents their interests. But the coalitions tend to be precarious.

@@GEOfocusChannel There are in fact historical reasons for that. The political system was designed in the aftermath of WWII and the fall of fascism, with the constitution specifically set to guarantee representation of all political voices, explicitly forbidding a fascist party, and finally ensuring that no single political force or governmental agency has the opportunity to exercise power in unchecked ways. Any responsibility is usually shared by more than one actor, with each one overlooking the operations of the other and often with the ability to vetoes its actions or reverse its decisions. It is a system designed to make it impossible -- or at least very difficult -- to install a dictatorship by grabbing power softly / legally. The downside is that, essentially, things proceed exceedingly slowly and little gets actually done.

Until reality proves them wrong...😕 Anyway, back to Italy's beauties, here's one most of you will probably not know already - the old Spa in Bormio, Valtellina: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joqrgWWud7KAepY
