People want to see history, nightlife and museums.

Unfortunately most of that is centered around 4% of the landmass

Even if Italy is a cultural destination I think you give tourists too much credit.
The bulk of them wants to go to the same overcrowded beaches and do nothing except get a tan and being pampered by their all in resorts.
I consider that fortunate, I stay away from those places and am glad they don't bother me.

I've never heard of anyone going to Rome or Venice for the beaches.

Yeah. If I ever get opportunity to visit Italy, I'll be going to see works of Michaelangelo, Bernini, Leonardo etc. That means Rome, Milan, Venice, and Florence.

You are responding to Putin's troll who probably never left Russia.

Even if Italy is a cultural destination

Wasn't that obvious enough?

You never been west of Minsk despite pretending otherwise, have you Yura? Keep trying, every comment re how great Putin is and how awful Ukrainians are lands you with five rubles after all.

There's this annoying genocide supporting troll FelixCress following me, mods should kick him out into the gutter where he belongs.
