Hello, my friends on Steem

This is my answer to the task of the If you would have unlimited budget, what country would you like to visit? by Steem-Traveler.

I have been to Italy 2 times. The first time was Milan in 2017, and in 2019 I was in Rome. Each time it was around December 25th. It was interesting to see how Italians celebrate Christmas.



These pines always remind me of Pinocchio, who threw cones at the puppeteer Manjofoko from such a pine tree. In my area, the pines look different.


I would like to visit Italy for a few days, and enough time to drive it from north to south, perhaps even with a stop in Sicily.
To do this, I need to have 2 things in sufficient quantity.

1. Money.
2. Time.

I don't have the first one in sufficient quantity for this, nor the second one.
To earn a lot of money, I need to spend a lot of time working.
But let's not talk about sad things.
Let's get back to talking about Italy.

On my last visit to Rome, I was on a short excursion to the Vatican. I looked at the square from the steps of St. Peter's Cathedral and thought - My God, I'm in the Vatican, I just want to take a walk here in no hurry.
This is what money and time are needed for. I think it would take me at least a week to see Rome. maybe 10 days.

Everything in this city breathes history. I thought that in Rome there is only an ancient Colosseum and almost everything. But it turned out that there are still walls of the old aqueduct, a stone road along which the citizens of ancient Rome walked. I will say that this story can be seen not only in Rome but also in its surroundings.



Friends, what kind of wine do you prefer at this time of day? Come on, I'll treat you.
Personally, I prefer grape vodka - grappa.
Previously, before my trip to Rome, I had never drunk such vodka. It has a very interesting taste. I am not sure that if I buy such vodka in Russia, it will have the same taste. There is a great danger that it will be a fake. Or it will be produced from cheap low-quality raw materials.


Of course, I would like to visit Venice. This city is one of the top tourist spots on the map of Italy. There are many songs, stories, plays, and operas about this city.
I have photos of this city. One of my friends shared them with me. They're not mine, so I won't show them.
I would like to take a ride through the canals of this city, visit the central square and look at the many pigeons that live there.



And this is Nemi Lake. It is located in the mouth of a long-extinct volcano. Once upon a time, the great palaces of Emperor Caligula floated on this lake. Then they drowned, or maybe they were flooded by the Romans themselves. In the first half of the last century, such a ship was raised to the surface. But then during the Second World War, the museum with this floating palace was destroyed.


Well, what else can I say? I want to know and see Italy better than I know it.
But... There are 2 big "buts" that I mentioned at the beginning of my article.
In Russia, there is a saying "finance sings romances". But now a travel ban has been added to this - covid-19. To travel in Italy, vaccination is required, which is recognized in Europe. In Russia, you cannot get vaccinated with such a vaccination, but you can go to Serbia or Montenegro and get vaccinated there if you have a Sputnik V vaccination.


I hope that I will be able to visit Italy again.
For me, the best time to visit this country is October-December. I don't like hot weather.
So, friends, who have the opportunity to sponsor my trip to Italy, you are welcome, I am always happy to accept help. 😂😂😂
