Ok a classical reference. I hate to say I wasn't thrilled with Italy. I think it's probably because Synner penned this and he's not Italian so it lacked something of the "feel." Rome was well done and the church, but too much else just felt like threads, just slipping away from my fingers.

The south is limited to Mafia rules. The north is an urban hell and Venice. There were bits that just tugged at me, the discription of the canals being cleaned up or the safe zones in Turin that sounded good but I'm afraid too much else seemed just like a list of places, thank you on to the next.

My best guess is that it was just too much to handle in the given space. Sorry, being honest, at least when you know I like something you know I'm being legit.

oh and what's up with the Balkans? They're on the map in the Italian section but i can't find any reference to them.
