Italy is one of the countries I have visited the most times, most recently to attend a conference in Assisi and to travel with my wife to Cinque Terre. I also have made two separate trips to the Dolomites, one of the most beautiful mountain regions in the world, in 2015 and 2019. I also travelled through Rome and Bari with again my wife on our trip across the Adriatic to Croatia and Montenegro in 2017.
