Oh, Italy, how I miss you.
I stayed the longest in Italy during my Runaway Europe tour. From Milan to Naples, I enjoyed various aspects of this country for two weeks, and made me want to go back someday. Italy, previously well known as a part of the Roman Empire, is one of the most important place for the archeological and cultural reasons. Every step of the way, there is a 2000-year-old artifact to contain amazing anecdote. I enjoyed the story of Herculaneum, a few best of Rome and how pigeons made David to stay indoors. There are so many stories breathing alive here. Though that’s not the only reason why I had such a good time. Thanks to the kind people of Italy I interacted with, I got to see what the life is in Italy. I loved their values in life, coffee culture, beautiful countryside with wineries, and history. Of course two weeks was awfully short time to figure all these out, but as you know, there is a place just connect to the heart without any specific reason. Italy was like that for me. Not just because it is shaped like boots.
Here I share some of the best parts of each city I’ve been.

Beautiful pictures! I always like to read about people’s impressions on Italy. And I always find myself thinking I should see more of my country… 🙂 glad you enjoyed your stay here!
I really do love your country. I want to do a road trip from north to south someday. It would be amazing! I really want to see more of countryside.
God I miss that place. I did a market food tour with Walks of Italy there. Amazing.
I miss the food. But summers in Rome….like living on the sun.
I liked the food tour as well. I want to buy some of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar next time I’m there. Ah, they make such a great products! I was there in October, but I’ll make sure not to go there in Summer if I don’t want to feel like standing on the sun. 🙂
awesome photo essay Juno, you take amazing photos! Can taste the Napoli pizza through my screen now (perhaps not a good sign for me – lol)!
Thanks James! I miss Napoli pizza… so bad. I’m spoiled after three straight days of pizza meal in Naples. Now I have a high standard!
Great pictures. I’m such an Italy lover too.
Thanks Bethaney. I want to go back someday. Such a beautiful country.
It take a lot for me to be impressed by photos from Italy… You have done the job! Beautiful collection reflecting this glorious country. My home away from home. Brava!
Thanks for the compliments! I’m honoured to impress you. 🙂 Italy is such a beautiful country. I don’t know much about their politics (seems like there’s a lot of issues at the moment) but I liked talking to Italians and expats. Somehow, I feel a lot of similarities between Koreans and Italians. Can’t exactly tell what, but I do feel it.
Excellent images!! Italy looks fabulous through your lens! I’m glad I was able to travel there with you.
Thanks! Me too, Italy was more beautiful because I was with a beautiful person.
Wow! Amazing. Now you make me feel like putting Italy in my next destination to visit 🙂
The pictures are fantastic. Congratulations! I loved Italy, specially Rome, Florence and Venice.
Thanks! Italy was amazing. Want to go back and explore more of the country!
Awesome photos, really! I see you have been in Tuscany… have you also visited the lesser known “Maremma” area in the south? It is really lovely and alternative to the most ‘famous’ part of the region 🙂 it won’t disappoint
Amazing pictures! Italy is the best country to travel: art, history, good food & wine, nice people…
