The Italy Story
Oh Italy, once we have seen you,
our affections never leave you.
Land of alpine peaks and rolling hills,
poetry fills you at every turn and thrills.
In the vineyards, cities and olive groves,
senses awake to a deep everlasting love,
finding ancient worlds elsewhere only dreamed of.
Within your frescoed hues and soulful views,
we meander, dream and muse,
were Michealangelo the others inspired here too?
Your contributions to culture and all the arts,
set you apart forever our hearts.
Like the sweet sound of the first buongiorno,
the light and beauty you give grows.
Between the flourishing cypresses and lemon trees,
and in your cobblestoned streets,
are the secrets, clues and keys,
to the old world we long to see.
