    Born and raised in USA, I have lived in Pescara for 22 years. Thank God the attitude of my beautiful city is not American.

      My family on my mom’s side is from Roseto.
      My dad’s side Napoli.
      I have been to Naples many times in the Navy but have only traveled that far north to Rome.
      So I’d like to start close to where my family comes from if I go to Roseto.
      Pescara looks like a good start after Rome once again.

    Great video. We love Pescara and live about 30 minutes away. It is definitely a more modern city for Italy because of the heavy bombardment in WW2. The biggest difference with an American city is that you can walk the entire city, any time of day, and never worry about being shot.

      @@fuddcar It hasn't been proven - this is a total lie- in fact it's just the opposite GOP led cities and states have more gun violence - why? Cause they LOVE guns - Texas proves this 100%. The US has more incarcerated people per capita than any other country on the planet. Get your facts straight and use your own cognitive skills (if you have any) and stop just repeating what you have been told. And of course, classic GOP has to throw a vulgar comment in there - low class scum.

    I'm Italian, from Milan, but I know Pescara and the US cities very well, especially Miami. Italy is wonderful, as are US cities. But the comparison is risky. In my opinion they don't look alike. Anyway thanks for the great video. Gorgeous images 🌴👏

    I don't mind Pescara. It's a recent midsize city, just by the beachese, and hills are not far.
    Anyway, I think it's more and more in decay, as most of Italy No maintenance, no graffiti cleaning. Though not too dirty in general.

      It's pretty inexpensive especially if you are accustomed to the prices in any English-speaking city. A very respectable two-bedroom apartment can be had for under $200k and it's possible to go much lower than that if you can compromise on size or location.

    • @JTforItaly
      @JTforItaly  Год назад

      It's probably a bit better than the surrounding area and I'm sure most shops with younger people working in them can at least navigate a transaction in English. There's also a sizable professional class of doctors and lawyers plus higher-level business people and I imagine the rate of English speaking is a bit higher among them as compared to the general population. That's just my feeling on it though, I've only ever used Italian around Pescara so I haven't tested it.

      Lol, take it up with Guido Piovene and Il Centro, my man! They called it "Pescara, la città americana che non dormiva mai" in an article from 17.1.16
      "«Domani vi porto a vedere una città americana». Mio padre non sapeva come consolare quei due figli (uno ero io) che non riuscivano a dimenticare la loro America. Così, una domenica di maggio del 1965, vidi per la prima volta Pescara, la città che sarebbe diventata mia, quella dove vivo da quasi mezzo secolo. Aveva ragione mio padre. Corso Vittorio Emanuele mi ricordava la Main Street della mia città perduta, Rochester. Non ebbi bisogno di leggere il Viaggio in Italia di Piovene per capire che questa era una città diversa dalle altre, in Abruzzo e forse in Italia."
