Went to Italy loved it, food small portions but just enough to hit cravings, was nice, whole thing was nice. Most conservative country I been to.
>>2905881Didn't go to Italy since hotels are $150 a night and Italy is full of head chopping Africans
>>2905881Can posting AI shit be a bannable offense already? All of 4chan is just going to get dramatically worse if we allow this shit.
>>2905884Hey man, post something original or just sit down and eat your little spaghetti with the romaine lettuce, drowning in that romato sauce slop. That's right. My romato sauce slop. Come eat it.
>>2905881Make sure to put ice in your wine if you ever go back. Italians love that lol
We need a "incoherent ai slop" report function and a life long ban of any ai slop poster.
>go to Italy>get served overpriced pasta by jeets >go home with diarrheaI'm starting to think travel isn't worth it any more
>>2907224I visited Italy, granted 20 years ago, and we were doing a 6 week tour of Europe more broadly, and by far, the best food was in Italy. The road stops that had buffets with risotto and fresh pasta were amazing. British food, by contrast, was twice the price and hard to get down.
>>2907225It's possible to find great Italian food but I was in Venice which is one huge tourist trap and a lot of the food was meh, in addition to aforementioned jeets and diarrhea. In general I find Italian food a bit one-note.
>>2907227Venice was definitely just a tourist trap - but the murano glass factory was fun and worth visiting.Rome was also very tourist trappy and I would not go back. But everywhere else is fine. I had good food. I ate the street food and drank tap water in Mexico as a teen and I recall having low-grade diarrhea most of the time and just living with it. Did not happen in Europe. Eastern european food is wayyyyy more boring and one note although some interesting 'hunter' cuisine in Prague I remember tho my lunch entree was 16 euro and this was 20 years ago. I just like pasta and pizza I'm kinda simple. It's so hard to get good pizza and fresh pasta here.
>>2907229for me it was Sardinia and Florence. Complete vibes. Drowned in food. Walking around the Vatican listening to Iron Maiden on my headphones while pounding espresso was a close.
>>2907227Actual Venetian (mainland, but let's not split hairs) here. You have to know where to go or you'll get ripped off and you'll eat like shit; one trick is to follow workers, like those that clean the streets and collect garbage because they know the place; alternatively go where the university and libraries are, because students go where things are cheap. Granted, Veneto is one of the worst regions in Italy food-wise, although it makes up for it with wine and drinking culture in general.Also, I hope one day all people just decide Venice isn't hip anymore, tourism in Venice dies completely, all the stupid merch shops manned by jeets implode, and I can finally go living there like my great grandparents did. I hate the state Venice is in today, the city is barely alive, more like a zombie really. All because the whole fucking world HAS to see the place for some stupid fucking reason.
>>2908053Sorry, just got back from Venice (had to see it...) It really is pretty, but you are right about the tat shops. Got bitten by a few mosquitoes too. Still, great hotels for €500 a night
>>2908053i WILL go to your disneyland citygrazie for your service
>>2905881iliked italy too!i wish to come back
>>2907224whywould yo go to a restaurant with jeets as chefs
>>2905884>4chan is just going to get dramatically worseYou can't get lower than rock bottom, its simply impossible
Italy is a boomer tier destination. Boomer tourists paying outrageous sums of money in order to fund the pensions of boomer locals. The history is neat but they milk it for everything they can get, which is disgusting Third World tier behavior. OP is a pajeet shill who is not even located in Italy, but who idolizes the country and its luxury products. Nobody loves AI fakery more than the pajeet. Lacking natural intelligence, he must turn to the artificial.
Food was not small it was always enough or too much for me. Maybe you ate at touristy places or you're fatty fat. If you go down quiet streets you can find lower prices for food, and there's also the Italian language discount.
>>2909618>to fund the pensionsConsidering how unprofitable being employed in the tourism industry is, not many pensions are funded that way. Propaganda from some politicians with conflicts of interest in the tourism sector call it "our oil", when in reality it's far from being that profitable or fundamental for the economy.>they milk it for everything they can getI hate that too, but you just can't imagine how much stuff has been unearthed in Italy, how much is buried, and how much keeps surfacing. It's almost comical. In a sense it's there and it's interesting, I doubt people would pass on the occasion of making a buck off of it, besides, as long as tourists ask for it they'll be served.
>>2909673$150 hotel rooms aren't profitable ? Lmao all tourism is profitable moron, thats why they do it you commie scumbag
>>2909706You gargantuan bootlicker, if you did know a thing about that industry you'd know that those money are not going in wages, because people working in hotels and restaurants earn a pittance for that excruciating work, and taxes on wages are the main source for paying out pensions. The tourism industry is extremely low added value and it's extractive and exploitative in nature of both the workers and the territory. The fact that some asshole is profiting immensely off of it doesn't change the fact that societally tourism isn't as beneficial as it's touted to be.
>>2909720Yea, you have no idea what you're talking about. Venice produces almost nothing. Tourism accounts for like 99 percent of their economy. Working in a restaurant as a server is not excruciating. It's just a job. I did it for 10 years. You'd know that if you ever had a job.
>>2909726I did work in a luxury venetian hotel for a season. The experience pushed me into finishing my engineering degree. The pay was decent because they had massive turnover and they needed fresh blood: the shift were grueling and management was on fucking coke, sometimes literally. I can tell you for a fact that the room prices were entirely disconnected with the quality of what those rich tourists got. Friends, relatives, and gf had similar experiences with other tourism-related jobs.As for Venice, the city didn't produce much for most of its history, but was stupid rich because there was added value in trade, commerce, and arts. From the XX century onwards the mainland next to the city became an industrial hub, some of it still survives to this day. Venice could be a remote worker paradise because who the fuck wouldn't want to live in an entirely walkable and human-sized place like Venice. I certainly would, and my current occupation hardly requires my physical presence, although boomer employers abhor the idea of smart-working because Italy is still fundamentally feudal in mindset where the landowner has the physical urge to see the peasants actually working in his field.By the way, there's lots of world-leader or high profile high revenue companies in a 50km radius from Venice, like Aprilia to name a famous consumer-facing one, so the region isn't exactly hopeless without tourism.
>>2909720Get a job parasite
>>2908053>Actual Venetian (mainland, but let's not split hairs) heredoes anyone even live in venice proper anymore?
>>2909764the gf of one of my friends does (I'm not the anon you replied to), the population has greatly reduced over the last century but there's still a few tens of thousands of people that live there
>>2909618
>>2908053>one trick is to follow workersthis. I had the most amazing lunch in Milano surrounded by Italian workers at a small family owned restaurant. Only 3-4 dishes, no inglese and you pay at the exit. Weirdest vibe of „we barely tolerate you here because your a tourist and you know nothing, but we are extremely hospitable and friendly anyway“. Molto Bene/10
