Belpaese / Italy /


Explanation:
Bel paese (o anche Belpaese) è una classica espressione poetica per indicare l'Italia, che meritò quest'appellativo grazie al suo clima mite, ai suoi paesaggi naturali e alla sua cultura e storia.

Ma potra essere anche il formaggio molle di pasta color giallo-crema prodotto in Lombardia

Etimologia: ← dal titolo dell’opera «il bel paese» di antonio stoppani (1824-1891), la cui effigie compare sulla confezione.

But I think it's about Italy here because the asker said it's about foreign opinions about Italy, il Belpaese.
