Italy is a lot like most places in the EU where tourists visit a few Instagram sites and nothing else. I think it’s incorrect to say it’s ruining southern Italy when the reality is it’s a few areas.
I was just at the Louvre where the wing with the Mona Lisa was overrun - the busiest I’ve ever seen it. The other wings were almost ghost towns.
I understand that when people travel they want to see the highlights, but I wish they would also explore a bit.

- abtinf 1y agoThe Mona Lisa gets over run, while the room holding the the code of Hammurabi(!!!) is basically deserted.
- terribleperson 1y agoI didn't even know they had the code of Hammurabi. Now I want to see it.
- Rebelgecko 1y agoWhen I tried to go recently I believe that room was closed for refurbishment :(

- seatac76 1y agoI remember going to the Louvre into the room with a Mona Lisa and being surprised by two things: - How small the actual painting is, I always imagined it to be bigger. - And the sea of heads between the entrance and the panting, there was no way I could get to the front to admire it up close. The rest of the museum though was lovely to walk around in.
