Well Mat, check your geography a little closer.  Rome is at about the same 
latitude as New York City and Milan and Turin are alot farther north, prob. 
like Maine and parts of Canada.  I lived in So. Italy for 2 years where there 
truly is a "Mediterranean" climate.  Milan is within an hour's drive of the 
Italian "Alps" and into Austria and Switzerland.
