One travels for work, one travels for pleasure, one travels for love... yes, but love for whom? And with whom? And... are we sure it can really be called'love'? In short, more betrayals seem to be taking place in the Old Continent than one might have thought. So much for romance and marital fidelity! And there is even a ranking with the most unfaithful cities in Europe, extrapolated from some statistics of the dating communities reviewed on the website maniachat.it, based on the number of registered users looking for... escapades! And how does Italy behave...? Take a look, it will be fun... or depressing!
10th position: Zurich, Switzerland
And away with the first surprise! It may be that the Swiss are the symbol of efficiency and punctuality, but evidently not even they can resist the pleasures of the flesh...! At least now we are certain that they are not cyborgs...
9 location: Amesterdam, Netherlands
Here, the surprise is the location... because we expected to find the capital of transgression a little higher up! But maybe that's exactly the reason: to cheat, you first have to commit, and come to think of it... with all that goodness, who thinks about getting married!

8 location: Bordeaux, France
Does the wine play tricks on the inhabitants of this delightful French village? Maybe then they at least have an excuse. But... if the saying'in vino veritas' were true, then the true soul of the inhabitants of Bordeaux would be rather faithless...!
7 location: London, UK
One of the largest and most multi-ethnic European capitals, London, needless to say, knows a thing or two about transgression.

Certainly not a very regal attitude, but then again, Londoners also indulge in the pleasures of life! God Save the Queen!
Position 6: Marseille, France
Well, maybe France should start asking itself some questions... two representatives already make the top 10! The city in the French Provence is a particularly romantic destination... evidently also ideal for quick conquests without too many sentimental consequences!
5th position: Rome, Italy
Here's the Bel Paese peeping out in this ranking too! But you know, Italy always wants to excel, and here too... the first city represented is the capital, the Eternal City! The city may be eternal, but love, evidently...
4 position: Brussels, Belgium
Eh... political wrangling in the Belgian capital city whets one's appetite.... No, not the kind of appetite you get at a restaurant, but the other kind...!

By the way, those who work in politics don't have a timetable, so even the oldest and most overused of excuses might be credible:'honey, sorry, but I'm late for work'!
3 location: Barcelona, Spain
That it was known for its lively nightlife was known. It goes without saying that between entertainment, between museums, between paella and tapas.... the Barcelonans also find room for a fleeting encounter with their lover!

2 location: Milan, Italy
By a whisker! One step away from the finish line, Italy with the metropolis of Lombardy has just missed out on the top step of the podium! Who were these fundamentalist followers of loyalty that made us miss out on the top spot? Joking aside, Milan is a highly industrialised city, but it is also the capital of fashion... in short, whether it is between one business trip and another that particular'impure thoughts' come to mind, or whether it is between models and fashion shows that one can lose one's head... the result is that Italy places two cities in the top five!
1 position: Paris, France
Vive la France, shout out the cheaters of the world! A real paradox for the French capital: in second place among the most romantic cities in the world, and first among the unfaithful ones!

Statistics on betrayals between men and women in Italy
Forget saints and navigators... Italy may worship many saints, but it has few! In fact, it seems that in the world, ahead of us there are only Denmark and Thailand! Yes, Italy is the third most unfaithful country in the world. We are talking about 45% of confessed offenders, on a par with Germany, with the city of Rome leading the way.
Among men and women, the ratio is almost equal: among Italy's cheaters, 56% are men, 46% are women.
Men: The average cheater is in his 40s, well-educated (with a university degree or at least a diploma), and they are looking for a woman aged between 25 and 45, naturally uninhibited and... blonde!
Women: The average cheater is around 38 years old, also generally a university graduate or high school graduate (87%), with an average salary and employed in marketing, sales or banking.
