Some beautiful desktop wallpapers of Italy backgrounds you can use. Wow @hypermak how can you leave that for Philippines?
You should one time in your life for a few months, especially in winter time, live in such buildings which are beautiful outside, but extremely uncomfortable inside.
I did that and I prefer a condominium unit in a modern building.
Such old buildings have a terrible structure, like never ending stairs but no elevators, (nice especially for elderly people, deliveries, women with small children etc.) frozen water supply, high ceilings, missing installations like restrooms and bathrooms. Also ownership is an issue, with people usually paying high rent and the owner of those historical buildings is a rich landlord or a family clan.
Parking of cars is a serious and costly issue too as nothing like that is provided.
Look up pictures of earthquakes in Italy how easily such old buildings fall apart...
Still in famous cities in the center the structure is better compared to housing in suburbs where I was grown up.
Living in old European buildings? Never again in my life.
But living in Europe has also other problems, like opening hours of shops - everything closed on Sundays, thanks to the Christian faith.
Since many decades there are severe issues with criminality due to immigrants, horrible cold wintertime full of 'beautiful' snow and so on.
Women and feminism are also a problem, social dating scene more or less totally broken...
As I said - never again.
