According to a study by Alliance & Leciester, Italy is in the top three destinations offering the best quality of life for Britons moving abroad. Holidaymakers are attracted by the country's "stunning natural scenery" and "fascinating" history and culture.
Beaches in Italy attract more people per year than any other country in Europe. The hardest part is deciding which of the Italian beaches to visit, as each one has a storied history and separate attributes. Italians keen to maintain their Catholic faith, yet distracted by busy schedules of socializing and sunbathing have had their dilemma solved thanks the initiative of innovative priests such Antonio Rungi. They have established an inflatable church and a beach-convent to minister to vacationing beachgoers. Activities at the two movable venues will include opportunities to confessions and to pray the Rosary.
The inflatable church will be set up in the Molise region on the Adriatic Coast and will be staffed by priests who hear confessions, according to Reuters. Nuns from a convent near Naples have moved to beach cabins to join holidaymakers saying the Rosary, with altar nearby which is set up under two tents. Father Antonio Rungi said to ANSA that the concept of a beach-convent is appreciated by vacationers and the nuns themselves.
In related news, Readers of the Sunday Times recently voted Italy the Best European Country ahead of places such as France, Spain and Greece.
