Spent some time in Rome, Florence and Milan while in college, haven't had the urge to go back since but the lake region sounds tempting. My niece is in school in Bologna but have not had the opportunity to visit but maybe. Went to Ireland in 2020, was especially nice since Covid had everyone else home and St Pats day celebrations were cancelled, basically had the whole island to ourselves. Headed to Scotland in a month, hoping it will be like Ireland but better.
