Ask HN: Is the Italy of My Dreams Fact or Fiction?
Hello!
I'm Italian on both sides yet have never visited Italy, or any European country for that matter.
[Context: I've traveled the U.S., Canada, Mexico & Caribbean extensively. Also Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand & Seychelles]
I'll be turning 50 later this year, thus my "bucket list" is consistently dominating an ever-growing percentage of mindshare.
I'm enamored with the small villages, family-first ethos and local artisans seemingly delighted in their quest to produce the best cheese, sausage, salumi, etc. Most recently Stanley Tucci's "Searching for Italy" series leaves me searching for plane tickets.
I'd be grateful to hear if the Italy of my dreams is real vs. fantasy.
