    I don't know, I just googled Italy+South then picked the prettiest picture, I did the same for England+North but picked the ugliest.

    That’s how balanced journalism works.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      I’m sure there must be some tulip towns in northern Italy but I haven’t been able to find them.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        Milan on top of all. But yes, most of them are very nice but jobwise it is so hard. However, yes, it's much nicer to spend unemployment time here rather than in Blighty.
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          Its strange how Milan is so rich yet so ugly compared to many other Italian cities? I hear the people are impeccably dressed but very snooty.

          Give me Rome any day.

            I thought Grimsby was the English Riviera?

              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                Well, not so strange considering that it was almost totally destroyed during WWII. Whatever was left is still very nice (the duomo and so on).
