Moving to Italy is the plan

We are packing up the house in preparation to selling it, because we plan to move to Italy some time this year. We needed to downsize anyway, because we don't want to saddle other family members with the detritus of our lives, and I really needed to organize my hundreds of compositions and digitize everything. That is mostly done, at least.

We hope to move to Ravenna, a medium-sized city about 100 miles south of Venice. It is on the Adriatic coast and is bounded by flat farm land. It is famous for the mosaics in its churches; also there is a music festival every year, a great library, and a branch of the University of Bologna. 

Of course there are a number of things that could derail our plans; the war in Ukraine, Italian bureaucracy, black swans of other kinds.

​As I said, it's a plan.
