Italiano gay
Our friend Marco from Puglia tells us about gay experience in Italy and what it's favor growing up male lover there.
Whenever we advance to Italy, our gaydar is always in a declare of flummox! Every other guy here is ripped to perfection and dressed immaculately. Personal vacuum isn't an issue with Italians – it's easy to misconstrue innocent approachable warm gestures. Not that we're complaining!
We always welcome a trip to Italy. We love it and always abandon wanting to repay – from our first year anniversary in Venice, our gay road trip in Puglia, the glorious Amalfi coast, exploring historical Rome, and partying in the exciting queer scene of Milan. Italy simply ticks every box.

Experiencing Italian Food
One could dispute that Italian food is the most famous in the world. However, the cliche of pizza and pasta is far from the truth. In proof, Italians live longer in general than most and this is largely due to a varied Mediterranean diet of fresh manufacture and seafood. Italy is home to some of the best food in the world: regional specialties, fine seasonal delicacies, terrific desserts and drinks. Although, coming back to pizza, the art of its making has even received UNESCO World Heritage status. The best way to cook the original Italian pizza is in a stone oven. Be sure to try this authentic style, especially if you visit the Naples area.
Each region has its control local specialties that are worthy as a cuisine in their own right, and vegans and vegetarians will find plenty of options. Typically, Italian cuisine is based on the Mediterranean diet, but its ingredients are explored creatively and always used in their season of film. Seasonal vegetables and herbs are the key ingredients in any authentic Italian kitchen, especially in Southern Italy.
