November 19, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutes - 8.44 MB

 Italy:  - I have visited Italy many times: Rome, Milan, Turin, Tuscany, Florence, Naples, Capri, etc.  The people generally have been warm and friendly and the food, of course, is wonderful.  I have been to Rome but sadly not Venice.  It is very unlikely that I could afford to retire to either place.  My best option would be to live in a smaller town that is connected by a train station or buses to a larger city.  As usual in my review, we will look at healthcare, crime, cost of living, wea...
