What Italy means to you in just one tweet

The Local Italy has been asking readers this week to squeeze their view of Italy into just 140 characters or less, in other words just one tweet. Here's what you came up with up for #ItalyinaTweet.
@TheLocalItaly Italy is a contradiction, a feast for the eyes, a second life, a brown button-eyed frustrated teen, infuriating but beautiful

@TheLocalItaly Just south Florence up in hills there's place where world stops where you get to make the day yours & drink wine from a jug..

@TheLocalItaly My Home. The place where I belong to; the Country that forced me to leave and where one day I will return. #Italyinatweet

@TheLocalItaly To live in Italy is how life should be lived. Slower pace, wonderful people,food & drink. Beautiful art, buildings, landscape

@TheLocalItaly Italy is a sunflower, full of color, always shifting toward the light. Yet bends, melancholy, at the darkness of bureaucracy.

@TheLocalItaly Italy, a land of infuriating contrast: cronyism, sexism, racism & selfishness stifling hope, energy, passion, style & beauty.

@TheLocalItaly Italy is diverse! The old mixed with the new. The food. The dialects. The regions. The land. The people! #italyinatweet
