Umbria is the best place in Italy. You cannot lose by going there. Beautiful, peaceful, and historic.

The Campo in Sienna is gorgeous and huge. And the Duomo is striking- the colors are intense.

if i only have 14 days to explore italy, i can't possibly explore every part of rick steve's italy playlist....too many beautiful places to see :((

[@martinsjankovskis3045]

a lifetime might not be enough...

Volterra figured very prominently in the Twilight books but the actual filming was in Montepulciano. Both towns are charming.

Rick Steves : in Tuscany there are at least 25/30 places to visit, for example Arezzo, LIVORNO ( a beatiful and very important Town), Pistoia and the Village of Bolgheri ( where there Is the viale n.1 of Tuscany, because It Is the most complete ,that is, It has history, poetry and above all great beauty ). W all TUSCANY.

Hi Rick, you talk about Isabels place (agriculture), may I ask you, how can I find the website of this place? Thank you for answering me.

Visiting Tuscany in June

Traveling the region as a photographer and book author already since the early 2000s, I know the region very well and it is a pleasure looking at your videos. If you are by any chance in the region I invite you to come and have a look at my exhibition "The Etruscan Spirit" at La Fortezza del Girifalco in Cortona. It is still on until June 15, 2019. Best regards, René van Bakel

Hello Rick I ve just seen this video maybe it's too late but just to say that Civita di Bagnoregio Is located in Lazio not in Tuscany and also in Umbria there's much more than Assisi, Perugia Gubbio Todi amazing Etruscan and medieval cities and many many small villages .I love Monte Castello Vibio but there are many others underrated towns and villages.Tuscany is famous because of Florence that's it

[@carlosacchelli8451]

Grazie x la tua precisazione sulla splendida e originale Civita di Bagnoregio ( che prima o poi dovrò visitare), però la mia Toscana non è famosa solo " per via di Firenze" ,ma anche x altre località e soprattutto x avere dato i natali ad illustri personaggi come Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo,Giotto, Botticelli, Puccini, Vasari e i miei concittadini Mascagni e Modigliani ; e senza dimenticare la gastronomia ( bistecca e cacciucco livornese) oltre ai famosi vini di Bolgheri, Brunello e il Chianti. Infine w l'Italia 🇮🇹 sempre.

italian phone's alphabet (used by common people) in the post office they know the NATO alphabet because they are trained also as RadioHam, infact you can see the blue and yellow "PT" sign in front of any italian post office, it means Poste=Mails & Telegrafi=Telegraphs Lettera Spelling italiano A ANCONA B BOLOGNA C COMO D DOMODOSSOLA E EMPOLI F FIRENZE G GENOVA H HOTEL (Unica lettera per cui non usiamo un nome di città!) I IMOLA L LIVORNO M MILANO N NAPOLI O OTRANTO P PALERMO Q QUARTO R ROMA S SAVONA T TORINO U UDINE V VENEZIA Z ZARA Le lettere J,K,W,X,Y sono considerate “straniere” e per questa ragione hanno uno spelling a parte: J - i lunga (si può usare il nome di città: Jesolo) K - kappa W - doppiavù X - ics Y - ipsilon

[@chiara8830]

Ok I listened again the video you said Civita di Bagnoregio Is in Lazio near the border Sorry !

[@luc1943]

your video 13:31 (Isabel's place)

[@anupaminthetube]

In my opinion and not being rude, in the video its more talking than necessary. Explanations could go on but I prefer more sight seeing than the same person throughout the whole length of it. Other than all that, absolutely amazing.😍

UK. 23.10.20. Sworn Statements.Yes Ok but goin around staring at buildings and stuffing food and buying clothes and jewellery etc is what the US tourists do when in UK. They dont care that we have experienced death threats from the UK court system and the US Embassy has offered violence do they. We gathered 1000pp evidence corruption by knockoing on doors throughout Cent London over a period 12 yrs accompasnied by victims of the establ. We took those victims to a Govt Minister who, then denied he had countersigned their paspers. When challenged he offered Police violence. He was in charge of giant MH Hospital that has admitted killing people and the issue was covered up by Local Govt Local Press. Police. HM Coroners. HM MPs and others. We had been wkg on their clients and staff cpos they the Hosp had not a clue.We were told not to cure the publics issues cos it takes money from system incl insurance. We then were told by loca;ls that they knew the Minister was insane. We exposed him and he went to EEC. They told us nothing can be done about crrptn. This has been repeated by Ombuds o Reilly. The public? Obsessed with liesure, sport,art drama , education We are experiencoing more attacks by Police who are telling us that the evidence we have cannot be shown to public. They say Local Govt anf HM Religion sent threm. Every HM Prefix org we investigated was found to be corrupt. The BBC? They said this- "Hide The evidence Abroad". Almost no one can be trusted. no we dont mean that the waiter wont give you your change, We can say that the people staring at buidings are kidding thmselves. They did that inGerman Cities in 1033-45. The most common resposes from public is- F-off or Its Nothing To do With Me. Thatys what happens when you stare at buildings. Where there is an impressive building theres always crrptn. The situation has existed since Roman Empire. You still aint learned.So far-26 crrpt HM MPs. 50 Parish Councils. 24 Universities. 26 Local Govt Orgs. Five Religions. 150 Councillors. princes Trust. Unlimited Treachers. Entire Press and Media.HM Courts. Hm Bar Council.HM CPS. HM Prisons. Lieutenants. Dept Health. and so on. But dont worry this does not happen in Italy does it. Chow.
