Hi All.....I am in Ascoli Piceno for a couple of weeks. If anyone is in the area and wants to grab a lunch or a cocktail, just send me a message. This is a great town to visit, Eric Bengel

I've finished rough cuts of 82 scenes ... only 5 more scenes to go!

Chasing la Bella Vita is getting a haircut! GO Pete!

We're putting Torrita di Siena on the map!

while I've been leaning toward choosing the Pulia region to eventually move to, I've been recently researching coastal sicily and a smaller town near reggio calabria (7% tax region), mostly because of better chances to get cheaper real estate deals than the pulia region. These areas seem to also have the things we're looking for as retirees, but the weather is a little harsher in the summer time. Does anyone have any experience living or visiting these areas? I know the pros and cons of these areas in relation to what we're looking for, but hearing from others that have been there would be very illuminating!
