No, I’m not. They aren’t particularly beautiful and, outside of the UK, people don’t even know what these places are, for a reason. Compare to, in random order, Verona, Rome, Florence or Pisa or Orvieto or the Tuscan countryside or Tivoli or even Milan.
- burntoutfire 4y agoI'm betting that most people outside of Italy also can't tell where Verona or Orvieto or Tivoli are.
- codeduck 4y agothey might have heard of Verona though because of that pesky Brit from Nowhereshire who wrote that one play that one time.
- mmarq 4y agoIf you don’t know what Verona is, you probably spent your entire existence under a rock. One would have to complete primary school to know that Tivoli or Capri exist. You are right, Orvieto may be only for the very learned. The West Country instead it’s a rainy non-place that gets flooded every other day, with 0 historical or artistic relevance. And nobody even know it exists outside of the UK.
- jen20 4y agoHaving lived extensively in both the Cotswolds and Chianti, I can assure you: you are nuts.
- mmarq 4y agoOMG, a friend convinced my girlfriend to spend a weekend in the Cotswolds, allegedly the best place in England or whatever. I’ve never been in a more isolated, yet overcrowded and noisy place in my entire existence. The quality of housing is abysmal as everywhere in the UK. A car was required to go to everywhere, queues everywhere, traffic everywhere, everything cost a fortune and it’s just like a random place in the Roman countryside but without the sun and the olive trees and good food. There was this weird dinosaur park/thing, “children love it!” they told me, that’s the best way of getting a mental breakdown.
