How many people here live in Italy?
How have you found the employment situation there- have you been able to find a (well-paying) job?

Joe, don't go there without having a job locked in. Unemployment is already about 80% for Italian citizens, especially in the south, so they don't need your marsupial ass adding to the problem. If you're looking at those $1 houses being offered in remote areas, those are more for people who can work remotely for a company in their country of origin or whatever. You are not going to find a gig bagging groceries or scooping gelato.

Can you shut up! This is our chance to get rid of him picking pomodoro at the foot of Mt Etna and you have to go talk him out of it!

From what I've read, the economy in the north is about as good as France or Germany (similar levels of unemployment to those countries, which is much better than southern Italy).

some of the most weird collectors are from there but they pack some heavy collectors shit so I guess there are still enough wealthy people there.

where are you heading for in Italy
I suppose if I was able to go there (sometime in the future), it would be the north (of course)

You go to the north, you might as well just go to Switzerland. The south is where it's at. No jobs, though.

Napoli is a crazy city well worth the visit.
Good seafood. Crazy drivers and a beautifull Roman arts museum. Lots of cool stores with vintage stuff (talking 2009 last visit here).

Why were you annoyed by that opinion I had? I think a member here, that lives in Italy, would have better knowledge of it.
I know people from Rome who would curb stomp you for suggesting that they were "arguably part of the north" in any context. And I'd let them.

Just checked with joe's brother to make sure the Roman roads had curbs.

AI Overview

Yes, ancient Roman roads did have curbs, which were typically made of upright stone slabs that defined the edges of the road surface and helped with drainage by allowing rainwater to run off to the sides; essentially functioning similarly to modern curbs.

Key points about Roman road curbs:

Function:
They acted as a boundary for the paved road surface, preventing material from spilling onto the sides.

Construction:
Usually built from regular stone slabs placed vertically along the road edge.

Drainage design:
Roman roads often had a slight slope from the center towards the curb to facilitate water runoff.

Why not make it a world tour? If you're ever out US way, head on down to Savannah, Georgia and tell them they are arguably part of the north. See how that grabs 'em.
