Hi Gillian! I found you via Domenica Marchetti, who shared your link.
I’m Kate Cone Brancaccio, writer and an American who traveled with my late husband to Verona every year. Patrick taught literature for Colby College (Maine). I hadn’t traveled much until Pat. Raised 3 kids as a single mom, etc.
I haven’t been back to Italy since our last trip in January 2019 but dream of it every day. I’m nervous about traveling alone. (No, no one wants to go with me.) it’s a quest! A hero’s journey! Now I’ve found your substack and know I’ll have a guide.
I have a Substack called The Adventures of Katie O’Folly. No idea how to share a link.
I’d love a post from you on navigating the trains in Italy. Is that too mundane? It would be a good refresher for me and Maybe help others.
Venice is the perfect place for a solo trip. No cars, a lifetime of things to see, lots of places to eat at the bar if you don't enjoy eating alone (I don't enjoy eating alone) and safe, and that's just the beginning!
A train guide is a great idea. I am working on a Venice for the first time guide maybe I will add something there or perhaps it will turn into a separate guide. Thank you for the inspiration.

I’m in! I’ve been watching flights and we actually used to fly into Marco Polo via Air Dolomiti via Zurich.
