It has been 18 months since my last Italian trip - far too long in my opinion - and I have some leave due for the first two weeks of October. I want to visit somewhere I've not been before, and am toying with the idea of either Bologna, Turin or Sardinia. Before I get out the guidebooks , I wonder if anybody can share experiences, or give their comparisons of any of the places.
I have loved nearly every place we have visited in Italy - particularly Rome, Siena, Campania and Sicily. I was slightly disappointed by Lecce and Puglia.
I particularly love historical sites - particularly Roman and Greek. I'm very fond of museums, and don't mind Duomos and churches. I mostly just love to walk around a city and explore, and will happily walk 10-15 miles a day. I speak mediocre Italian - at least enough to make myself understood - so that is not a limitation. Normal mode of travel is to find an inexpensive rental apartment and start from there.
Any suggestions welcome , at least to give me some ideas on where to start.
