Hey there, Ack :) I have some Sicilian friends living here in Rimini myself, and all of them keep telling me about how nice Sicily is in Spring and Summer. I guess I must go there and see it for myself sooner or later (damw work keeping all our time... ;) Rimini is on Italy's East Coast, actually, but you're right, you should pay a visit to the Adriatic Coast and its cities. The best months are June and July or, if you like crowds, August :) Ravenna a person's name ? Strange, never heard it around here, anyways sounds funny. Ravenna is a very nice place with historic Bizantines monuments protected by UNESCO and many other nice things to see, but apart from it, why someone should be called after it, it's a mistery to me ;) Maybe she had visited there or had some relatives there she missed ? Ciao Fabio
