Meaning of "leave you saying"

Hi,

Could you explain the underlined part?

Bring your quill, sketchpad or instrument, and float into this charming Italian paradise that will leave you saying "Venezia, ti amo con tutta l'anima (I love you with all my heart)."

Thank you,

m

that will result in your saying It's a somewhat metaphoric way of saying that an experience came to you and then left you. And you were "left" (by the experience and because of the experience) in a certain emotional state. Compare: The film was so moving that it left me speechless.
