I'm not certain that I have a question but more of a statement. Other than the culture, which is beautiful for sure, why would a non Italian national want to subject herself to the hassel, inefficiencies, high inflation and debt, illegal immigran
Hi, I'm new to this site. Lover of all things Italian including but not limited to Rome. Live near Philadelphia USA with high hopes of spending a great deal of my retirement time in Italia.
Hi Monica,I am very happy to learn that you are living in Sicily and hope you don't mind if I pose a question to an expert.It seems that when I research Campania and Sicily, my heart warms to Sicily because I think I may find what I am looking for there. My impression is that one can enjoy a beautiful seaside town and yet not need to travel very far for culture and history.Do you agree with this? Is there any Sicilian area of which you are familiar where a traveler such as myself could find both of these aspects easily?Incidentally, I loved the color of the aqua ocean on Capri, is the sea that color in Sicily?Thanks so much for your reply.Regards,Catherine
Hi Monica,How nice that you have joined this community. I'm fairly new as well. I have so enjoyed browsing this beautiful site. I'm certain you will as well.
Hi again,I'm not certain if my grandparents were from Campania but it is quite possible. I think my grandmother may have lived in Naples. It is very expensive to trace ancestry but I hope to be able to do that at some point. I do imagine that attempting to buy real estate while living abroad will be very difficult. It is very difficult to get Italy out of your blood once you have visited. LOL.
Geez Al, As a new member looking with fresh eyes, I like this site which I think is supposed to be about things Italian not one's techie skills . It's very kind that theadministrators are patient with those of my ilk. Regards, Catherine
Thanks for the welcome. I'd love to spend some time in Campania. I've been looking @ some real estate sites and I thought real estate was high here in the U.S. I speak no Italian - just love the culture - my grandparents were from Italy so I have an inner connection I guess.
