It's really great if you can be flexible. For people who want to stay on base all the time and live in a fishbowl, it sucks. Keep in mind that the exchange rate is really bad right now, $1 gets you about .62 Euro.

A golden oppurtunity to experience and live in Europe! The history, culture, people, cuisines, and travels! all compliments of Uncle Sam! I spent a total of 9 years in Europe (3 tours) and haven't seen ot experiece it all, yet! You can continue with your education by signing up at the education center on Post. Have fun ,enjoy, and refuse to get stagnant by living on base and be miserable! CIAO!

Vicenza is beautiful, as is nearly all of Northern Italy. Be sure to live on the economy, find a Trattoria close by and get to know the locals. It's worth the investment. Just me, but I would not recommend bringing a new car over-too much chance of dents and dings. Buy one when you get there. Get out, take advantage of the USO and ITT tours available. Learn some Italian as well. GO! You won't regret it.

Vicenza, a city in northern Italy, is the capital of the eponymous province in the Veneto region, at the northern base of the Monte Berico, straddling the Bacchiglione. Vicenza is approximately 60 km west of Venice and 200 km east of Milan. As of 2007, Vicenza had an estimated population of 119,038. Vicenza is the third largest Italian industrial city by export. Economy The surrounding country is agricultural, but there are also quarries of marble, sulphur, copper, and silver mines, and beds of lignite and kaolin; mineral springs also abound, the most famous being those of Recoaro. The city has an active and lively industrial sector, which is especially famous for jewelry and clothing factories. The Gold Exposition is world-famous and it takes place in Vicenza three times per year (January, May, September). Other industries worthy of mention are the woollen and silk, pottery, and musical instruments. The headquarters of the bicycle component manufacturer Campagnolo are located here. Demographics In 2007, there were 114,268 people residing in Vicenza, located in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, of whom 47.6% were male and 52.4% were female. Minors (children ages 18 and younger) totalled 17.17 percent of the population compared to pensioners who number 21.60 percent. This compares with the Italian average of 18.06 percent (minors) and 19.94 percent (pensioners). The average age of Vicenza residents is 43 compared to the Italian average of 42.
