Claudio Baglioni (Rome - 10 May 1951) is a pop singer, song-writer and composer who made the big-time with Questo piccolo grande amore. I guess that every loving couple in Italy has dedicated this love song to his/her lover!

Yes, you're right, when you are looking for something in a big country it would be best to answer a few questions: I'm looking for a place totally different from where I live? Am I open to climate changes?  I'd like to live in a tiny village or in a big metropolis?  After you answer these and other personal questions, you may concentrate on a specific area. I know it doesn't help you a lot, but at least it is a beginning! :) good luck!
