Do you not see all the pictures of towns, buildings, farmland and non-native plants?

What do you want exactly ? Pictures with no people, no buildings, not even a small house, nothing in fact ? Just a mountain, or a lake, or a sea ? Huh...

We could talk about Italy and California for hours, no one will be right because the two are beautiful, it's not like one was beautiful and the other ugly as ****.

But well, at least the pictures are nice.

I think the (few) buildings in those shots complement the natural scenery perfectly. Even if they were not there they'd still beat California.

Pretty much actually. Given the fact that is what is natural. I don't go to natural places to look at buildings and the less people, the better.

Then it seems like you don't value nature very much. Buildings and human inhabitation destroy nature. They are the opposite of nature and they detract from natural scenery. This is one of the main reasons Italy loses this competition. It would be much closer if Italy wasn't ruined by people for so long.

You don't want natural scenery then, you want a desertic place in the middle of nowhere away from civilization.
