Hello VT community!

I'm looking for a place in Italy that meets (hopefully most of) the characteristics below and I think Ravenna may be it but I'd love to hear from you! I've never been to Italy though and the relocation would be for some 6 or 9 months starting in October or so.

My Italian is very basic at the moment and I'll be moving from NYC.

.Near the beach (preferably with some good beach volleyball);
.Small town where government is efficient and paperwork gets processed promptly;
.There are people (preferably single) in their 20's and 30's.

Thanks much for any help you may provide!

1. Is this feasible?

2. As a non-christain, is it still worth it to come and see the mosaics even though most are of a Christain theme?

Please could you tell me what day the street market that sells clothes, shoes etc takes place

I have been reading about free bicycles in Ravenna - but the posts are all old. Do these still exist in 2008? thanks!!

Can an adult with teens (14 & 16) borrow the bicycles for the teens?

The travel book I have been reading indicated that you have to book for Mausoleo di Galla Placidia. Also mentioned a combined ticket. We will be visiting San Vitale, Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, Sant Apollinare Nuovo and if time permits Dante's Tomb. Does anyone know the admission price for these venues? We will be there on 3/3/07 do we need to book at this time of the year?

Hi My husband and i are thinking of moving to Ravenna next Sept. I am of Italian parents and speak good italian but not so much written. I am a barista butcan work in restaurants/bars my husband is a tiler (piastrelista) Would getting a job eventually be difficult? Also we shall rent for a year firs prior to buying. Do u think renting without an agency is better? I thank u all in advance. I think Ravenna is very beautiful and wewill be very happy there. Love Paola

For our Summer vacation we wish to find the best place to stay. That means :
- near the beach
- in a safe area
- not far from Ravenna historical center.
We do not search a hotel (we will lodge in a rented appartment)
Thanks

Hi all,
hopefully someone will be able to help me out. I'm going to Ravenna for one day in June and I've decided that it's best for me to spend one night there and leave for Assisi in the morning. But for some reason I'm having a horrible time finding cheap accomodations there. I'm at a point where I'm willing to pay a little more than what I had planned for a hotel. I just need a place that's not too expensive, easy to find, and safe.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

How do you get to Padua from Ravenna? Also, is there some lockers of something at the Ravenna train station where we can leave our bags for a few hours?
Grazie!!
