Thanks very much for posting the interesting blog and insights into some of Le Marche's villages. Having spent quite some time there, we are still trying to determine the best town to live in full-time when we retire. I see that you have your home in Corinaldo. We haven't visited that area yet but were curious how the weather was there in the winter and how lively the town was off season?

With 2 grandchildren and a 92-yr-old mother we don't intend to retire full time to Italy. It is cold, wet and sometimes snowy in Corinaldo in winter. Judging by the communal e-newsletter it is quite lively. Halloween is a big festa there. We know a few non -��s who have made their home there and they are happy. Hope this helps.

It does help, thanks very much. The cold and wet is something we are trying to avoid, since we live in New England, USA now. We get tons of snow and are hoping for something more moderate.

I'm glad I was able to help a bit. For a short, mild winter I think you need to look farther south, though you will miss out on the gracious landscape and people of Le Marche. In the meantime, here are a couple of posts to give you an idea of life in Corinaldo outside the winter season.

Thanks so much for posting the links. I am sure that I will enjoy reading them. We have been coming to Le Marche for the past 8 or 9 years and I do really love the area. We are hoping if we can find something between the mountains and the sea that the winter will not be too bad. We really like the southern Marche and are considering the area around Montelparo or Offida.
