I think Ravenna is also rather well cared of, by Italians born and living here. Huh? English people in Le Marche? Sure someone has to live there, but nothing prominent for sure. Never met one there. I agree that Romagna (where I live) and Le Marche are in better shape, cleaner and better looked after than other areas in Italy.

I can't help with your questions because shamefully I've only been to Italy a couple of times. If I were in Abruzzo I would make an effort to go to l'Aquila d'Abruzzo.

Especially Scanno, which has some great photographic pedigree:

Thanks for the links, Bob. I don't know if I'll have enough time to
see both, but the HCB photos of Scanno have me seriously intrigued.
It's a 5 hour walk from Bugnara...

Maybe I should get a bicycle.


That is always true according to the n+1 formula. Which applies equally to cameras and lenses.

Yesterday I asked an Italian friend about Abruzzo. She said it is "very bleak", and recommended Le Marche instead, which she says has the most beautiful landscape she's ever seen. Also it is looked after properly by all the English people who live there, not like the Italians.
