I'm with Pete, out of the busy cities, the rural parts of Italy are beautiful, and loved Sicily as well. The driving in the cities is manic, everyone thinks they are Fangio, and you are being beeped even before the lights turn green lol.

But on the whole I have found the Italian people to be so very welcoming, and every Italian (and Greek) has a couple of relatives living in Australia, so they are very friendly towards Aussies.
