I have Italian made bikes that I love and Italian made bikes I just never got along with -but looked beautiful!
With all that said, there are great Italian builders out there that can make you a custom steel, titanium or carbon bike that will ride great. But it will ride great because of the builder not the country.

Indeed...even those made in Belgium by some guy other than who's name is on the downtime..like, say, Merckx?
I've known people who love and those who don't love just about every bike frame brand out there...The same bike...
Buy a dreamy looking Euro-rig and report back...Make sure it has Campagnolo tho, or you lose points..
