I'll go to Italy in June. My friend says Italian men are very handsome and romantic. Is that true ?

My female friend went to Italy last year. She said many handsome Italian men flirted with her in Italy. Some Italian men said " Ti Amo ( I love you ) " to her. Some sang romantic songs in front of her and asked her to marry them. My female friend's legs got very weak when she saw those handsome Italian men . She was very excited. She even french-kissed and hugged some of those Italian guys.

Why do many Italian men so handsome and romantic ? They are attractive because they are brought up by the food in Italy ? Also the Italian environment contributes to that ?They learnt the eromantic things at school ?

I'm really interested to know

Grazie mille

I lived in Florence and definitely had similar experiences! The men would follow me for a mile trying to get me to talk to them. I did meet one gorgeous Italian who I used the phrase baci le (kisses, or kiss me), he got a HUGE smile on his face, and planted one on me! I gave him my #, but it was when I first moved there and did not yet speak the language (and he did not speak English). He called me and tried so hard to talk with me, but a few days later I met an American and fell in love (still am 7 years later). Not sure what it is about Italy - romance is in the air!

Not all of the men are this sweet though, there are plenty of sleazy ones! The gondoliers in Venice all invited my girlfriends up to try and steer the gondola and then proceeded to feel them up. Most of the men there just want you to give them attention. But yes, they use the term Ti Amo very loosely.

I heard she did more than kiss and hug them.

Errr...where did ur friend go?I lived in Rome and I've never seen anything like what u described...maybe your friend might be lying a little?italian men are nothing special...some of them like foreign girls but most of them ain't even that nice.

In my experience there are many attractive and romantic men in Italy, you also have your fair share of unattractive ones. Italian men, by nature love women, they want to talk to you and touch you. I have been in empty subway trains and had the only other guy on the train stand rigth up next to me, just so he could flirt and "cop a feel". The most romantic thing about italian men is how they talk... they either speek to you in italian, which is beautiful, or in english with a heavy accecnt, also beautiful! Have a great time, I have been to Italy 3 times and never met a person who was friendly, chatty and willing to help when you need it.

Ciao. Not exactly as your friend told you but foreign girls/women say that italian boys/men very interesting. The are latin lovers (sangue caliente ??)

No, it isn't true.
probably boys who said it was joking toward a typical ingenuos Us American girl!
i think that your friend watch too much stereotyped hollywood movies!

i'm italian.

I'm Italian and sorry but I agree with MUNCH

no no no no..
they aren't sweet, they are adorable lier!
:)
is really a sport in Italy to approach pretty girls from all the country.
If you're looking for adventures, then sure you'll find what you need, but if you want something more serious.. it's really hard.
They are really romantic and sweet, they use deep looking eyes and gentle touch your hand, they swear they can't live without you and cries like babies to have your phone number. They can become your best moment in town, but.. just move your leg out of italy and you'll never hear them anymore..
that's the sad truth..
So have your fun if you want, but remember a serious story is out of order! (some rare exeption.. very rare)
Why they're so sweet? Don't know, maybe it's the sun..
:)
bye bye

ovviestly.. i'm an italian girl
:P

They may start out Romantic they can be absolutely charming and yes most of them are very handsome however, they become the same as English men after time.

They can look old prematurely because they like sunbathing and getting that bronzed.
And both men and women although they look in fab condition with great physiques and figures all the Pasta catches up with them all when they hit a certain age.
