Your town is so beautiful, every picture is fantastic.

I have a poor image of Italy as I visited Rome before and I was not impressed with the bikes and cigarette smoke.

Hi Cambium, thank you!
I don't live in the tropics and I'm actually about 300 km (190 miles) further north than you, at 44°N.
Last week summer has decided to come back with daily temperature up to 28°C/82 F yesterday and 18°C/64 F at night (high humidity as well!). Beach season is over but sea water temperatures are still mild, 21°C/70 F at the moment.

Thanks! I think Rome is the most beautiful city I've ever seen. But I know it's very busy and chaotic.
Rimini has many nice places but there are unattractive areas as well. It's varied, lively a bit different from what one first has in mind thinking of Italy.

It is very beautiful but I also found it very dirty with a lot of smoke from the motorbikes. I didn't appreciate being almost driven over or having cigarette smoke everywhere either.
