I am asking from all of you who have spent time (more than being a tourist) residing in Florence or Bologna. I have been researching Florence for my move to Italy and have contacted /www.pitcherflaccomio.com Real Estate Agency Florence,Italy for rentals and they seemed to be very helpful. I have spent at least 5 weeks in and out of Florence on my vacations and enjoyed my stay. Florence seems to be centrally located with easy access to other cities which is strong point to relocating to this city.
I visited Bologna, Verona, Florence, Rome, Turin, Parma, and Sorrento.
I liked Bologna a lot for it's vibrancy, food, and college spirit and Florence for it's history and beauty. Verona is a beautiful city but I did not connect with it. Turin was too big and felt more industrious but did have some great sites. However, Florence has many tourists and that is my concern however not a total deal breaker.
It is a tough call between Bologna and Florence.
My question is:
1) What are the caveats of living in Florence and/or Bologna
2) What part of Florence you would rate highly as a resident (without a car)?
3) What other city would (not countryside) be a viable alternative?
4) We are taking two dogs with us, what problems have you encountered transporting them from the US?
Thank you for reading this post and all inputs positive and negative is appreciated!
