I've been living in Italy for nine years and use most weekends to explore. Of the places I haven't been yet, the one I'd most like to go to is Noto in Sicily during the Infiorata in May. http://www.infiorata.info/

Even if you have never heard of this Italian region, Naples as its capital, it is home to the world-renowned Amalfi Coast, the ancient tragic city of Pompeii, and the romantic Isle of Capri. Well, if you asked a local, the first thing he would probably tell you is that this is the Birthplace of Pizza, Spaghetti, and Buffalo Mozzarella. Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, no self-respecting Northern European aristocrat would dream of leaving Italy without spending a month or so in Naples. But then, after the Unification in 1870, the city fell into ill repute and, all during the 20th century, it was considered dangerous and depressing. This wonderful harbor, once the third largest city on the continent, still has some less-than-picturesque neighborhoods, but the entire historic center was extensively restored in the '90s, and today we think it is one of the most interesting locations Italy has to offer. After all, what we foreigners usually remember best about our Italian vacations is the people, the lifestyle, the local color and the food - and nowhere on the peninsula are these ingredients present in such undiluted quantities as in Naples. From dawn to midnight, the cobblestone streets, this is also the town of a local girl called Sophia Loren. The city offers ornate Baroque churches, a world-class Royal Palace, two massive fortresses.

I would actually not go to a city. I would rather visit the Tuscan countryside. I would love the rolling hills and grapes everywhere. How neat would that be?

Anywhere in Sicily. Then I would tour the country side on the mainland. Then on to the Eternal City.

I would like to visit Gorizia, for historical reasons, to see the area where the barbarians came pouring into Italy and where Attila burned his way into the peninsula.
