Please read the other thread that I started the other week - at the moment this place is recovering from severe flooding. Several people died. I am sure it will be cleared up by next summer, though, and they will be grateful for tourists bringing money back into the region.

Go there, walk the walk, eat the anchovies and drink the wine.
