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.

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).

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

Rome is arguably part of the north, in economic terms. Culturally, you could say it's more like the south.

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.

I'll tell you a secret about Italy. All roads always lead to Rome.

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.
