Travel recommendation and advise from my 20+ years traveling around the world.
We went to a lot of cities that I had never been to before so was able to rule out a lot of potential retirement towns.
Milan was a waste this is a big business town and not worth much time for sightseeing.
Bologna was nice good shopping and interesting city to explore so might go back to visit again.
Salerno was a waste we only stayed an hour instead of the 4 hours I had planed the nicest building to see was the train station otherwise it’s mostly a working dock town.
Lecce was OK we stayed there a few days enough to know they work on the same “time” as Sicily schedules are a suggestion not a certainty.
Bari was my favorite and one I will go to hopefully staying there for a week or so but of all the town this is the one I could see living in so the next trip will focus on this town.
We had a great time exploring lots of new and old places and I am already planning the next trip.
