Curious to watch. I am from Milan, living in NYC for 2 decades. NYC seems to be going down the drain slowly. One step up, 2 back. Anyway, I enjoy your videos, I wonder why you do not shoot in linear mode with your camera (I assume a GoPro or similar), it would make them more appealing esthetically, without the fisheye effect.

For instance where I live people who recently moved here have to be told, "Don't just go up driveways expecting to get halloween candy. Don't go up any driveways you don't know someone there or you might get shot. People around here like their privacy and don't like people in general, that's why they live here.

I would like to clarify some aspects of the "Italian thoughts" mentioned in the video. They said that in Italy people pay up to 48%, and that's true, some in certain ways even more than that if we consider other kinds of taxations. The thing is that in Italy we have "free" healthcare, public school system up to high school and tax reduction for university students with low family income (you pay regional taxes, like 100€ per year, and in some cases that's it), and many services that in many other countries are private. The biggest problem is not taxation, but tax evasion, there are many that do not pay taxes and that added to the poor investment management that our political system had made in years, it has increased the number of taxes required but not the benefits received from them. Another aspect that was mentioned in the video was about pensions, most of elderly can't live with their pension, that is based on many reasons, but one that I would like to highlight is that young generations have problems in finding jobs, creating new opportunities, or get small jobs just to live, in the last few years there were more young people living with elders' pension rather than the opposite.

[@cabaneseric4653]

it's a real probleme in western europe;in my country (france)big companies and start up don't pay enough taxes but the "little" peole pays a lot

The bureaucracy is extremely bloated, public services rarely work as they should (as is the norm in the world, anyways), it's hard to start a business, the pension system is unsustainable. The problems in Italy are mostly the same as any European country nowadays, from Romania to Sweden. I personally think a little bit less gov. intervention would be welcome, however I don't - currently - live in Italy, so my opinion may not be "up to date".

I was in Rome and Vatican City a week ago and enjoyed my time there especially the magnificent marble statues, art, beautiful churches, architecture and ancient history. Thank you so much for highlighting the fact that there are 2 sides to Rome of which I noticed on arrival at Termini. What stood out for me was the graffiti on many of the buildings close and surrounding the station. Then if you walk a few meters towards the tourist attractions, you think you are in a completely different city. I think many of the big cities in Europe, even London struggle with a lot of homelessness and perhaps it’s a wake up call for the governments to do more for their people especially when tourism is a major contributor to the economy.

[@robertcronin6603]

There's no immediate profits to be had by helping homeless....there's far more immediate profits to be made by perpetuating it.

[@john-ic9vj]

We were just in Italy earlier this year, and walked through these areas many times. Never had any issues or thought we were in a really dangerous area

[@v1das007]

Exactly. We took a bus from Termini 4am at night, just a couple homeless guys walking around, but there are also station workers who are doing their business, so it didn't look unsafe at all.

[@johnhessler945]

I am an American living in Rome for 34 years. Italy provides housing with free water and electricity to anyone who requires it. Granted, homes have no appliances, locks on doors and even broken windows. But little or no homeless in the city as a whole. Never seen a gun on the street either.

[@gianmattiadeigobbi3242]

I’m from italy and i know rome very well, i 100% agree with you on the fact that a lot of places in US are far more dangerous. If you come here in italy just pay attention to not get your wallet stolen (especially in train and bus stations) and try to avoid some places like termini during the night because things can get pretty wild especially if you are alone; but otherwise during the day it’s pretty safe everywhere :)

Just found you, Peter and I love you! I'm planning my first trip ever to Italy next late Sept. It's been a lifelong dream. I had planned to see some of Rome's back streets while there, but this was a bit of a shock. Refreshing reality makes the video so entertaining.

Half English half Italian. Grew up and lived in Rome for 17 years. This video is good in the way that there is nothing that it shows that is that bad. Yes there a drugs. That is really as bad as it gets. Rome is extremely safe, clean, well policed etc. It’s a very good city, yes there is crime, but it’s really no way as bad as most other large/capital cities. Hang around any main station and you’ll find crime.

[@marcfischetti5490]

I'm half Italian too and lived in Rome for 18 years. You are right, It is super safe and I never experienced any problems whatsoever and I was out all hours night and day.

Rome actually reminded me a lot of Oakland and San Francisco but without the ghetto street element if that makes sense.

I stayed in this place on my Italian holiday, walked there during day and night. Yes, there are homeless people there and sometimes you can see drug addicts at night. But it's not more critical, messy or dangerous than it is in other European capitals and big cities these days. The big advantage of the area is that you can take a train and go wherever you want in Rome or the rest of the country (including the airport). Plus, there are many nice restaurants which are always crowded at night which proves that the neighborhood is quite tourist-friendly.

[@ricklindqvist3438]

I think I haven't seen this channel before and it's fantastic! Peter is a really great youtuber who hooks up with the best people, like the 2 legends here. I have traveled immensely around the world and can easily say that Rome is no way near as "chaotic" or "hopeless" as San Fransisco, or poor like say Manila and Philippines (and many other places of course) overall. I always felt safe in Rome, been there many times and it saddens me to hear that the two legends are not looking into a bright future for Rome. This fantastic city is soon in tatters??? The heartland of the Catholic church? What's come with the world??? How will it look in 50 years? Cheers from Sweden! Now a follower of the channel!

I spent 2 years in Rome, living in Boccea. The area around the train station was tricky, but it's the same in most big cities. There are always tricky people around bus and train stations! I never felt like it was very dangerous, but never spent a lot of time around there at night. I am sure, as it is a central train station, there will always be crime. The problem with Rome, like most touristic cities, is the locals can't afford to live there anymore. It is turning into a tourist Disneyland, and people will just rent to them rather than make less renting to someone who wants to live in the city. Same in Barcelona, Palma Majorca etc. There are WAY TOO MANY tourists in Rome. (I know I know, I was one the last time I was there). Tourism is killing tourism!

[@wawbagel]

@@shortshorts920 you cannot look at it that way. You have to compare them by metropolitan area population and not the city itself. Otherwise you can get some weird results. Rome metropolitan area has more than 4 million people. Chicago’s close to 10. Same story with Toronto or Paris. On paper Toronto has something like 2 million people in the city. But it doesn’t make sense to look at it that way. Paris? Only 2m residents in the city but it’s urban area has 13m. And now let’s compare it to let’s say Warsaw. Warsaw has close to 2 m people in the city. You could get an impression that it’s similar to Paris or Toronto, right? All of them have similar city population. Wrong. You see Paris is on a totally different level. With its 13m metro population it’s 4 times larger than Warsaw.
