There really are very few countries on the planet that rival Italy for its beauty and romance which is why an artistic assignation in Venice or cultural interlude in Florence are just what’s required to stoke the flames of passion, no matter what the occasion.
No sooner as you’ve stepped foot onto a cobbled piazza or watched the world float by from a gondola then you’ll be smitten with la dolce vita and if you’ve got an important question to pop then where better than Italy to make the moment all the more memorable?
Below are just a few more of the reasons why the language of love is spoken in Italian and if you’re looking to rekindle romance or set a new fire ablaze then read on and don’t forget the old Italian proverb: ‘He who is not impatient is not in love’, as the sooner you arrive then the more time you’ll have to stay.
The food
Simplicity is the key to a delicious plate of food in Italy and if you can bring the same recipe to the relationship table then you’re bound to find that it works wonders. Over complicating things is best left to politicians and if you can find the time to enjoy fresh pasta, good wine and a sublime view at sun set then who knows where the evening might take you.
The language
It really doesn’t matter what an Italian says, it always sounds as rhythmic and endearing as the most carefully composed of love poems. Just listening to the sing song of the market trader or the chirrup of children’s voices is enough to inspire even the surliest of visitors and no sooner than you’ve learned a few well chosen phrases yourself then you’ll be flying higher than a white dove released within the Eternal City.
The literature
Romeo and Juliet, A Room with a View or The Glassblower of Murano, whichever depiction of fictional life in Italy you choose to take with you, one thing is for sure, there’s nothing more romantic than pausing for a good read over an early morning espresso. Italy is entwined with fables and stories of days gone by and if you’re wishing to begin a new chapter within your own tales of amore then there’s no finer destination to put pen to paper.
The style
Clothes, cars, coffees, whatever the Italians do they tend to do it with style and flair which is why it’s such a hot bed of pure and unadulterated chic that’s been passed down from one generation to the next. It really is difficult not to pick up on the effortlessly cool approach to life when you’re touring across the country and from the catwalks of Milan to the citrus groves of Sicily, learning to relax and do as the locals do is always best advice – when in Rome, and all that.
The art
It has to be said that there’s no better means of enjoying each other’s company whilst travelling other than experiencing things of great beauty and there’s nothing quite so breathtakingly beautiful as the art that you’ll find spread across the cities and countryside of Italy. The galleries of Florence, the architecture of Rome and the natural scenes along the Amalfi Coast, all need to be seen to be believed and if you can see them together then a mutual appreciation and shared experience is bound to stand you in good stead for man more years to come.
