Italy: Love It or Leave It
471 South Coast Highway 101, Encinitas, 92024
Cost: $9 - $10
Luca and Gustav are two young Italians have witnessed the exodus of many of their friends to Berlin, London, or Barcelona -- creative, talented people who don’t see a future in their country. They’re fed up with the high cost of living, no job security, the feudal university system, reactionary attitudes, and indifference to human rights, the clear sense that you don’t get anywhere just on merit.
Gustav believes the time has come for them to go abroad, too, while Luca wants to convince him that there are many good reasons to stay, that Italy is full of passionate and committed people who every day carry on a silent battle to change things for the better.
