Batanes Islands in the northern parts of the Philippines is probably the closest to Montenegro. The Batanes Island has rolling hills, open landscapes with less trees compared to the rest of the Philippines.

February has a breezy sunny climate. It's peak season for locals and tourist. However any season in the Philippines is considered a good time to visit.

Rice field in the Piedmont region in Italy reminds me of the Philippines.

Italy is the largest rice producer in Europe, and the Lombardy and Piedmont regions are Italy's rice bowl. Rice production in Italy started around the middle of the 15th Century.

Risotto in Italian aren't as well known as their pastas and breads. Filipinos could adapt here since they won't miss their rice.

Where did risotto originate? In northern Italy in the fifteenth century, the Lombardy plains were cleared to establish rice fields. The motivation for the clearing and reclaiming of the plains was simply the demand of the growing towns for food. That demand was met by budding capitalists who had the financial wherewithal to back the farmers in establishing these rice fields in the Po Valley. Rice was a relatively new grain introduced to Italy by the Arabs in Sicily some centuries earlier, but was now for the first time being introduced to northern Italy. One of the earliest references I know of concerning rice in northern Italy is a letter of September 27, 1475 from Galeazzo Maria Sforza to the Duke of Ferrara concerning twelve sacks of rice. In both the Po Valley and in Valencia in Spain rice occasionally replaced bread as a staple. Riziculture had its origins in India, Assam, Burma, Thailand, or China, and the plant slowly made its way west.

Only Italian-American food with rice that I've ever tried was Progresso soup. I'm sure Italy has a variety of cuisines made with rice.

I didn't know that Italy has a rice field just like we do
It's hard to believe but it's real and it's not a mirage that you're looking at either.
Robbio, Italy - a rice field on the province of Pavia.
Young rice plants are finally peaking out of the water

Rice-A-Roni

Besides Rice-A-Roni and Progresso Soup, I'm unaware if they eat rice regularly.
In Italy they do eat rice but it's likely a local regional dish.

Montenegro has a temperate Mediterranean climate that reminds me of neighboring countries such as Greece and Southern Italy.
