There is so much to see. This year I want to go back to Naples and Turin (where i haven't been for the past 20 years!). And Venice. I will explore more as I shall find myself with an abundance of free time come Spring. Trento sounds interesting. I shall gave a look at what is reachable by train from Rome...

My list is always getting longer! I really want to explore the mountains now that I live up here in the north. You gave me some new inspiration.

Thank you so much for sharing my Venetian island guide

My list is so long! I would love to get back to Sicily(I was only there as a student in the 80s), and to see Puglia. I want to get back to Venice, we haven’t been there since the 90s I think, and back to Ravenna to see the mosaics. Small towns in un-busy corners of Tuscany, always. More of Maremma, which we only saw for a few days. Liguria, I don’t think I have ever been. One of these days I would love to see the Calabrian town my great grandfather came from (Amantea).

Sardegna and Molise are still on my list. I just got back from Alto-Adige and loved it!

Amazing how many completely different ways of life can be accessed within a few hours from Central Italy-- and all of them undeniably, intrinsically Italian in their own way. This is a post I'll keep coming back to! Thanks!

We are looking at traveling to Genoa and potentially Cinque Terre but it's looking more and more like a tourist trap. Any beach recommendations near Genoa or Pisa / Florence
