Are there any good reasons to learn Italian?

Or is it a waste of time. I am actually fluent in French and english and with Spanish(intermedaite to proficient after taking 5 years of it). This summer I can't decide whether I Should I try to learn Italian on my own or go study abroad for one month in Italy (to gain intermediate skills) or just to Spain to become fluent in it? whats better?
if ur thinking from a geographical point of view (as in how many countries speak it), its pretty much useless. less than five speak it as an official language.
but it wouldn't hurt to know alittle, especially when u meet a hot italian chick.

I'll be going to Italy in the beginning of July and would like to learn at least enough Italian to get around and maybe make small talk with natives. Which books would you recommend?
Go to a real Italian restaurant, sit with them and eat and learn the named dishes in Italian. You will learn the pleasant words and phrases of conversation. You, like everyone else, will too quickly learn the 'bad' words on the street. Italians also talk with great movements of their hands. You will luv Italy, I was there in 1958.
How did you learn to speak Italian fluently??

I want to learn Italian very badly. I have looked at several websites, and I do find good information, but it is all out of order, I have no idea where to start. I am jumping from phrases, to alphabet, to pronounciation. It is very confusing as I have not found a very organized website that will truly help me. I was wondering how did you learn to speak Italian? And are there any books that are good? Like for example: Italian for Dummies?
I took the beginners class in high school, and continued afterwards listening to SEVERAL books on tape (or mp3s) where you repeat every sentence and everyone looks at you looks at you like you're crazy, lol, j/k.
Also rented many many Italian movies w/ english subtitles and keep practicing! You really have to be consistent on your own with studying to keep all the rules and language fresh in your memory.
Music helped as well! Sing along with Bocelli, Lucio Battisti, Laura Pausini.
