Italy is a country full of ancient architecture and statues reflecting gods and myths abd history so its no wonder you feel lack of architecture back in montreal . The beauty outside reflects a beauty inside. People are able to work better and more creatively in beautiful refreshing places that are a dessert for our mind and soul, ugly and dirty place or places with no beauty causes irration as i teen for me,so about the suicide,yes our environment and its beauty affects us. I totally agree with you that it’s wrong to say that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” cause not every thing can be found beautiful just thinking like that. You sound like a very religious person which is a good quality and your search for beauty in everywhereand wanting it to be in the part you live and churches you have there is a sign that you are awake for the community too.all should think like this and create a world a beautiful place combining with nature.
