Introduction and Welcome to the Italy Community!

[IRENE.DINUBLIA]

Hi Chip,
In August I am planning to do a reconaissance trip to Italy to contemplate places to move in the Abruzzo region. I am specifically interested in exploring Citta Sant Angelo and Vasto. The combination of mountainous and sea or close proximity to, sounds wonderful. Ideally, I would like to stop in Orvieto to visit friends. I just don't know logistically if that makes sense. If there are any contacts in the region tour or otherwise, I would love to know. I don't know much about getting around Italy and I am a single mature (older) woman so any "how to" information that simplifies the process would be welcome. Also, any suggestions or other mid-size towns to explore are welcome, as well.
Thank you very much!
