My usual summer trip to Italy is postponed until the fall, unfortunately. Because of the exorbitant price of airline tickets this season (at least, I found them to be higher), I plan to go after the high season in order to save some money. I figure since I live in the southeastern US, I'll get plenty of sun (and hot weather). Each year that I travel to Italy, I try to visit a new city or region. I plan to visit Rome (it is my favorite spot), Palermo (my second favorite spot), and a few days in Naples (pizza, pizza!)
I have narrowed my choices for the new city or cities down to:
- Milano
I've been to Milan twice, but both times my visit was extremely short, and I didn't get to see much of anything. I'd like to spend a few days there and see some of the highlights. - Genova
I haven't spent much time in the north of Italy, and I think that Genova with its rich history would make an excellent choice. It's also a smaller city and might be more manageable for a shorter stay. - Bari
I've always wanted to visit this southern Italian city, but I am thinking that I have spent so much more time in the south of Italy that it might be better to spend it in the north. - Venice
Everyone always seems surprised when I tell them that I have never been to Venice. I want to go, but I think that I'm scared off by the crowds and touristic feel of the city. It's home to Vivaldi, some great architecture and Harry's Bar so I don't think that I can postpone visiting this Italian gem for too many more years. - Ravenna
Ravenna is home to some important Italian art from the Early Christian period as well as the tomb of Dante and a slew of other monuments and sites. I have always wanted to go there - perhaps a short stop-over on my way to Venice?
