Milan is just very industrial. It's not as geared toward tourists. I have a friend who lives there and can't wait to get out.

I hear what you are saying about Rome Dean, but I think it's still well worth it. It's such a historically important city, and to be fair, if you really explore, there are lots of hidden gems. My aunty lived there for quite a few years.
My final memory of the Vatican is being so drunk that I was searching all the scooters parked around, to see if any of them had keys in so I could get back to the hotel (the behaviour of an absolute ASS I know but it was very very late/early and I was VERY VERY DRUNK).
Had I found some keys, I would probably now be dead.
Alcohol, who'd drink it eh?

Naples also not worth seeing except for two things:
When the place I refer to is not where I are from (and consequently somewhere I don't really know) I find it adviseable to be careful what I say if I don't want to offend people.
Fair, you're right, I'm sorry to offend anyone. Just my personal opinion as a traveller - which is what we're talking about here. I was there for four days, and I don't imagine that he will be there any longer, so I'd say my rather quick-opinion relative to a local is relevant. That said, I suppose I could've sugar coated it, but if someone's looking for honest advice, I'm going to give it. I'll just give it more carefully. My apologies for being blunt and offending.
Anyway, like I said, good pizza, and there are some cool areas, but I found it large, dirty, and rather crime-ridden. People from there were telling me the same thing, and I almost had to push my way past the guy running the hostel because he wouldn't let me go out at night for fear of my own safety. I finally was able to leave when I left my passport, wallet (sans a little cash for the night) and camera in the safe. I prefer to get my own opinion on cities and don't really care much for visiting a city and not doing anything out of fear, but I believe he was correct (if overzealous) in his cautions.

Nope, I was there, but... what did I eat there... not pizza in any case. NOW you tell me. Very pretty city, that, by the way. Actually, a fantastic country.

How did this New York thread become an Italy thread, anyway? I wish I had the time and money to travel to Europe.
