Went to Italy for the first time last year and had a similar experience with Venice. The food was much better in rural Tuscany. Venice was crazy packed with tourists compared to Florence and Rome.
I was surprised there weren’t more people in Rome for jubilee, especially with the events going on that week. Though admittedly, I stayed away from the Vatican for that reason.
Go to Italy, complain about the food and air conditioning. That’s why Rome has a McDonalds.
I enjoyed Rome and rural Italy. I just didn’t mesh with Venice. Idk what to tell you. It was a bad experience for me.
Also we’re both on Lemmy so we likely both have our reasons for avoiding companies like McDonald’s.
