With the full-blown outbreak of New Crown Pneumonia in Europe, Italy, a relatively dire situation, has a case curve infinitely closer to Wuhan, Hubei province. The Italian government is beginning to shout through the media for help from other countries.
Italy's ambassador to the EU, Mr. Massari
"There is not a single country in the entire European Union that has helped us, and only China has extended a helping hand to Italy." Massari, Italy's ambassador to the EU, said in his own op-ed. In response to Italy's approach, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, "We will not forget the invaluable support Italy gave to China when it was fighting the epidemic at its most difficult time. Although China still has a greater need for its own medical supplies, we will overcome our suffering and provide Italy with assistance in medical supplies such as masks, and increase our efforts to export much-needed supplies and equipment to Italy."
With this time, the director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Liang Zong'an, head nurse of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Tang Menglin, and other volunteer team of experts flew to Italy, and carry relevant humanitarian relief supplies to support the Italian *** with the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Accompanying them were a vice president of the Red Cross Society of China, an expert from the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the deputy director of the Microbiology Institute of the Sichuan CDC, and a lecturer at the School of Foreign Languages of Sichuan University.
In the wake of the outbreak, a nationwide lockdown has closed stores and supermarkets, hundreds of flights have been canceled, and streets across Italy have been emptied. But for me, Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in my heart, and their achievements so far have earned them a "lifetime achievement" award in my mind. If the epidemic ends, Italy will be my first choice for traveling. Here are my reasons.
1. Cars
I could write 10,000 words about cars in Italy, but I still wouldn't be able to cover Italy's obsession with cars and their whimsy. I don't want to write some meaningless words like "passion, soul" to describe Italy. I just want to say that if you like beautiful cars, cool cars, strange cars, friendly cars, front-engined, rear-engined, mid-engined, front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, four-wheel-drive, high and low, big and small, round and flat, Italy has it all. This country can fulfill all your fantasies about cars, whether the fantasy is wicked or wonderful. If there are 1,000 ways to smile while driving a car, Italy has ?1001 cars waiting for you.
2. Customized Cars
If a regular production car doesn't satisfy you, that's okay. Italy has a very large number of car customizers that can take your needs to the extreme. Let's think for a moment, how many car customization brands can you name in a minute?3?5? Chances are that you're talking about subsidiaries of Italian customization companies. In addition to the infamous Zagato, Touring, who designed the Disco?Volante, and Mulliner, the centuries-old brand that just partnered with Bentley in Geneva, there are a host of great Italian companies such as Karmann, Chapron, Ghia,, Scaglietti,, Vignale, Italdesign, Bizzarrini, Frua, Fissore and many more.

3.Highway
A good horse goes with a good saddle. What goes with a good saddle and a good car? A perfect?road, of course. there are countless such things in Italy. Just look at how many Top Gear travelogues have been filmed in Italy. There is no better place in the world to take a nice drive. Without further ado, here are a few more pictures to give you a taste.

5.Attractions
No matter what the classics are that are written about in the guidebooks if you're a bit of a movie buff, a tour of these cinematic meccas alone would be enough to fill an entire month of your itinerary. What's the movie, you ask?
Roman Holiday
Love in Rome

If you're still currently at home and unable to leave the house due to the outbreak, watch all of them sometime, and your trip to the Holy Land will surely be more meaningful.
6. Science
Nearly 9 out of 10 of my car-loving friends have a keen interest in the science of everything around them. If you are the same, then Italy is one of the countries you must hit in this life.
Alessandro?Volta, an Italian scientist who made an outstanding contribution to modern science, after whom the unit of voltage, the volt (V), is named.
Vincenzo Lancia, founder of Lancia, an Italian legend who created numerous firsts in the automobile industry. The first time a turbocharger was used in the same engine as a mechanical supercharger, the first time a V6 was used in a civilian car, the first time a 5-speed transmission was used, the first time a wind tunnel was used to design a car, the first time a load-bearing body was sold, the first time an electric spoiler was used, and so on. A lot of the automotive technology you're currently seeing has him in it.

Though the internet is full of quotes about Italy, affectionately referred to as "Italians". "You can only sleep better at night if you rest during the day!" From this southern Italian proverb, we can also see the character of the Italians. Yet it is such a lazy nation that has given birth to so many beautiful gems in the history of automobiles. The best description of Italy is "the mother of western food and the godfather of automobile". Good food, good fun, good scenery, good girls. Such a "four good" student, I am fascinated. If the epidemic passes, I will bring my camera and experience the legendary "City of Beauty" with you.
