Don't let the looks fool ya, those italian women are mean as hell with bad tempers and crazy mood swings. The risk is not worth the reward !
The one's I "know" were all from the south, palermo and sicily. Them girls don't mess around. Hot as hell but with an even hotter temper.
That's part of what makes them interesting. And not all is bad: http://www.upperitaly.net/index.php?id=78 Anyway, to be precise, if I understand correctly the place is in Italy (Cortina), but the girl is Australian (Megan Gale). She got famous almost ten years ago after a commercial she made. Now living in the Italian Switzerland, I believe.
