Do you have ambition to live or retire abroad?

ok this is weird
Florence is my favorite and maybe top 5 city worldwide
(like Barcelona, I felt the complete synthesis of architecture as living art)
Rome, otoh, I found just ok

other than Florence, Lucca and Bologna - also Taormina, Sicily were standouts
Torino & Milan (industrial North) were least favorite
and clearly we hit Loano at wrong time bc I was very excited by the idea of Italian Rivera (the crushing amount of Germans tempered that excitement quickly)

I still have so much to explore there. Want to check out Portofino, Dolomites, Sicily. Sardinia, Puglia, Bari. I suppose I’ll go to Venice just to say I’ve gone but not expecting too much other than a tourist trap. Also have to to got Turin where my grandfather comes from.

I’ve heard Naples is dirty & sucks.
