Choosing a Landing Spot

5 years ago
First, I just want to thank everyone who works supporting this site and those who have used their own experiences to help others make this exciting but, often overwhelming, transition less anxiety provoking.
I've been fortunate to survive the 12 year jure sanguinis process through the New York consulate. My wife and I are both passport holding Italian citizens and intend on spending a good part of our future years in Italy.
The issue for me can be summed up in one word: "Where." I don't expect anyone to make a decision for us but, what I really would love to know is, based on your experiences, what turned out to be the most significant factor in your choice?
I've traveled from north to south (mostly through the center and west coast cities) and have enjoyed them all. I love the feeling I get down south and the weather but I seem more comfortable up north where services appear to just work better.
I guess I'm really just trying to prioritize the many factors that go into the selection process. Some the feel so important now, might turn out to be less so upon arrival and visa versa. Any all all opinions are appreciated. Thanks to all.
