As much as they hate a color over there, Italy. I won't have to worry about the quality of food.

Getting back to the question at hand, Italy: better food, better weather, friendly people, and lots of opportunity to work in a job I would enjoy (probably something relating to tourism, antiquities, or archaeology).

I'm not sure I'd like to live in the Val d'Aosta or in Campania-Calabria

I want this poster banned.

Your ancestors were Campanian, Phil?

Yes, my Dad's side is from Campania and my Mom's side is from Sicily.

Italy of course.

I went to Sicily last month (not the actual peninsula i guess), stayed a bit more than a week in various cities, visited the town where my great-grandfather was born and had a great time overall.

My experience in Miami was crap, so i don't have a nice opinion of Florida Tongue

After all my trips, I still haven't been to Sicily.  Sad  I hope to visit my family's hometown the next time I visit. I still need to visit my Dad's family's hometown in Campania, too.

If I were to move at all within the US, I wouldn't much want to leave the Northeast, so I'll go with Italy for the hell of it. I'm only like a sliver Italian, but I know it traces back to Pescara province, Abruzzo.

Neither - Kamchatka sounds nicer.

I said Florida, id feel more comfortable living in a place I'm used too. Italy would be nice to visit annually or something.

To go off on a weird angle here based on avatar and being a sliver something... I love how misleading American surnames can be. Take Bruce Springsteen. I learned somewhere some while ago that the Springsteen name proves descent from early Dutch settlement... it's really quite as distinctive as if he were Bruce Schuyler or Bruce Vanderbilt. Thing is, though, he's still just one eightth Hudson Valley Dutch (which is probably less than pure Dutch after two centuries, but that's a different story), just happens to be the parental line. His father's other three grandparents are Irish Catholic (no idea where any or all of them were born), and his mother was born to then-recent immigrants from Campania.

Crazy, my great-grand parents on my mother's side came from Chieti, Abruzzo.

If I could somehow snap my fingers and magically be able to speak Italian, I'd rather live there. However, having such a linguistic challenge I'd just live in Gainesville, FL; I love the city and know plenty of people in the area as well.
