We spent some time last year in the LeMarche region, in Senigalia and in the lovely beach town of San Benedetto da Tronto, on the Abruzzo border. It was overall wonderful, and friendly and they do not often see Americans. We tended to stay near the coast while there. Loved it and would consider going back. Two yeaars earlier we spent some time in Calabria (tropea) and were very impressed with it overall too. They never see Americans there and in these places not a lot of people speak English.
Yes, Loisp27, we are in RI too, and are expecting to spend 6 mos in Italy in 2016 or 2017 when retired. I have read that it is easy to go there for 6 mos, but for a whole year it is a hassle with the bureaucratic requirements. Unless you are can be an Italian citizen, that is. We have been there 8 times visiting 2- 3 weeks each time.
