Yeah they exist. We have been staying in some small fishing villages. Several have become resorts for weekend getaways. Last night we stayed in Neptuno. It is probably the most Italian place I have been. No tourists are here. We went to a small restaurant last night and had fresh calamari and pasta. Two guys played the guitar and sang all classic American rock songs. Even though we were the only visitors, all the Italians knew all of the words and everyone was singing along and enjoying the whole thing. The waiter told the little band that we were from America. One of the singers welcomed us and told us he visited California and loved it. I told him I have visited Italy and love it as well. They all thought that was funny. Then they sang Hotel California for us. We bought them a couple of cokes and they gave us a copy of their CD as a present.
After dinner we wandered the streets eating gelato and watching all the Italians in their designer clothes cruise each other. There was a whole section of town that was very crowded with lots of bars. Everyone was out in the plaza talking in groups and flirting with each other. The interesting thing is the boys stayed mostly in groups of boys and the girls stayed mostly by themselves as well. There was not much gender mixed groups.
