We're moving to Merano



On Mai 1st we'll be moving to Merano (South Tirol) in the north of Italy on the border with Austria. On the photo above you see the building we rented. The upper floor on the corner with terrace overlooks the cathedral square and the old medieval shopping street.
It's quiet and pedestrian, across the street of my parents's house, facing the cathedral and overlooking the mountains. it's really gorgeous.

We couldn't stand Firenze anymore with Valentina. It is loud, dirty, there are no green parks or nice walks to do with her. Of course it's a beautiful historical city with beautiful monuments, markets, wine and food.

Merano and South Tirol has too beautiful monuments mainly in the form of castles, beautiful wines and pretty good food too. Maybe the atmosphere and the culture is not so italian but Verona is just over an hour drive. Venice and Milano just over two and a half hours drive.

That's to start with the news. More soon...
