These remind me of Assassin's Creed II, which I want to start playing now because it took place in Florence, Venice and Rome.
Thanks.

Try reality. It's better.

Lets talk about some :mahtroy: 's gathering in/out some weird "gaming parlors" and drinking in the streets... and it was only dudes... between the ages of 25-40. All looked super sketch and in groups, all of em had weird cheap booze too.

Italy isn't a safe picturesque place as pictured on top gear and the likes. There are tons of areas that are sketchy as fuck.

Most of Europe is like this. Lots of sketchy areas. Usually the younger dudes who are more punk/rebellious and they just herd up like you said. Happened in Romania all the time when I visited, and a bunch of other places I drove through when I was a wee lad.

Also happened in Montreal, too. I was lost in the wrong neighborhood.

yes and no. I didn't expect Pisa to be ghetto as F. Rome was fine (in the center) as was Florence and same with Venice... Pisa. I wouldn't go at night period. It is not a place i'd recommend.

Ok, here are pics of Florence.
First is the beautiful church commonly known as il Duomo for its famous dome designed by Brunelleschi. Image

It's 412 steps to the top of the bell tower (seen in the second pic above). Here are a couple of pics from the top.

A cool thing about the dome is that it's actually 2 domes, an inner and an outer, and you can climb up inside between the 2 domes and go outside. It's 459 steps to the top. Here are a few pics from the top.Image

That's it for Florence. I'll try to do Rome tomorrow, but it may take a couple days.
