Me and some friends are leaving in a month's time, maybe two.

Give me suggestions down below. I'm asking on Discord, Twitter, etc.

      tuscany bad, it's a fuckin manicured tourist trap

      south italy is where it's at: dirty, hot, poor, brown, olive oil not butter

          i mean it's beautiful and you'll probably love it but i used to work in south italy so it feels super fake and touristy in comparison

          in tuscany everyone you'll see will be a rich middle aged tourist; go to the toe, sole or heel of the boot and everyone you see will be a real working class italian or a scabby cat

              sicily's definitely real, whole bay of naples area is tight, anywhere in the mountains will be super nice

              i used to work in pompeii, you should spend several days there and in herculaneum and other regional sites

              learn a little italian though, people speak less english south of florence and venice

                List the regional sites in Pompeii for me, plox.

                And the bay of Naples area is great? Okay, I'll check out the bay then...

                  the villa of the mysteries is walking distance from pompeii and has secret rooms where a cult tripped balls to commune with dionysus

                  paestum's cool, just a big open field full of giant temples

                  do not miss the naples museum, that's where a lot of the best shit from pompeii/herculaneum went

                      Visit the Secret Cabinet

                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Museum,_Naples

                      it's where they put all the erotic art from pompeii, in the 19th century to be admitted you had to be a married man with a letter from your priest attesting to your morality
