Then she stood on tiptoe and kissed him sweetly on the lips, “I promise you a love affair with a sun-bathed Austrian princess beyond anything you imagine—in love, in beauty, in intensity. A love that will power you to the end of our time together. You are going to be a fortunate man, Geoffrey Ashbrook.

If the landscape of human emotion were to exist in country, it would be in Italy." ~Lisa Fantino/Amalfi Blue

We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!

They travelled for thirteen hours down-hill, whilst the streams broadened and the mountains shrank, and the vegetation changed, and the people ceased being ugly and drinking beer, and began instead to drink wine and to be beautiful.
E.M. ForsterGli Italiani devono capire una buona volta il rischio enorme di una cultura credulona ed ‘ascientifica’. Questo è un Paese, infatti, dove si gettano soldi alle ortiche per acquistare prodotti ‘omeopatici’, oppure per creme e tisane che nella migliore delle ipotesi non hanno alcun effetto. E’ un Paese dove ormai non si riesce più a far nulla di costruttivo perchè c’è sempre la paura che si vada a ’sconvolgere’ delicatissimi equilibri ‘immaginari’, paure alimentate ad arte da ‘politici’ che prosperano su falsità di ogni tipo. E’ un Paese dove Otelma, Vanna Marchi, Bossi e berlusconi hanno accumulato fortune economiche e politiche, e dove un Grillo qualunque (con tutto il rispetto per quest’ultimo in confronto ai summenzionati) può apparire un Gigante.
Io penso che l’ignoranza collettiva, associata alla supponenza ed al fatalismo, rappresentino la più grave catastrofe per l’Umanità.

Remember that it's only by going off the track that you get to know the country...And don't, let me beg you, go with that awful tourist idea that Italy's only a museum of antiquities and art. Love and understand the Italians, for the people are more marvelous than the land.

The name of Italy has magic in its very syllables.

She had always been fond of history, and here [in Rome] was history in the stones of the street and the atoms of the sunshine.
Henry JamesItaly, all the same, had spoiled a great many people; he was even fatuous enough to believe at times that he himself might have been a better man if he had spent less of his life there.
