6 Reasons Why Living in Italy Ruins You Forever

by Sabrina Bertazzo

Don’t travel to Italy. Definitely, do not move there. Resist the lure and the temptation of living in Italy – the most beautiful country in the world. Don’t choose Italy as your new home. Just don’t. Because if you do, you’ll be ruined for life. Why? I am Italian and I’m obviously, deeply, madly in love with my home country, and of course I could be (well, I am) biased, but hey, it’s not just me saying it, Italy is the best country in the world! Come on folks, do I really need to tell you why when you’ll move to Italy you will be ruined forever? Don’t you know that you won’t go anywhere else with the same spirit? Do you realise that you will always look back to your Italian memories with incredible fondness and eternal love?
