The Innocents Abroad

Twain has not been very complimentary to the cities/countries he has visited so far, and Italy is doomed to the same fate so far in Chapter 20. He lumps Italy with the other disappointments he has experienced up until that time. What indication does Twain give that he is unhappy with Italy?

Twain begins by insulting the men and women of Italy, calling them ugly. He says the tour guides are inept (yet he keeps hiring them). He is once again sorely disappointed by the lack of soap, and the scenery just hasn't wowed him, yet.
