8 La Boca, Buenos Aires
Builted around an area of the old port, in one of the most old Buenos Aires quarters;
La Boca gives off all its ancient charme, a charme typical of italian spirit, thanks to the multitude of italians coming from Genoa who years a way back inhabitated this quartier.
Naturally this place is full of italian restaurants, but it hosts too Boca Juniors, one of the most popular argentine football team.
Furthermore there is a street, via Caminiti, full of shops, bars and Tango ballrooms.
Italian cusine, a football match and stroll along via Caminito... a perfect day!

Even thou I'm not from Italy visiting place like this one can really make us feel as if we've been to Italy. Specially when you visit Taylor St. in Chicago where you can find almost all Italian best food.
