Gargano is a region north of Bari. With a park

Not that much. I was joking about the bad reputation that southern Italy has, because of carelessness and crime.

Looks very nice:

better than Sulmona?

As I said, never been there, but it's a fairly touristic place, better known for the coast than for the park, though. People just want to go to the beach
The Tremiti islands are probably the most known spot:

I have never been to Sulmona. But I will go there next time I visit Italy. Are there still wolves and bears in the mountains?

I think they are mostly in the park

Yes, here's a thread about the animals:

And a report from a hiker:

I'm pretty sure you can see something in the park; that's also what the park's site says.
What I don't know is if it's possible outside. I don't think it's very likely

It's amazing - and very good - that a country like Italy with so many people still has bears and wolves. OK, you also still have those animals in Scandinavia (in Norway and Sweden), but there are not so people living there.

Well, I go hiking in the mountains almost every week, and I can assure you that your chance of running into a large wild animal here is extremely small. Usually I hardly hear even any brids. In Canada you see bears, deer etc all the time--go there if you want wild animals.

But really, why all this interest in Italy? Are you seriously thinking of moving here? Or is it just that vacation Italophilia has caught you?

I am thinking about moving to Italy. I just love that country. I don't think you find a better place in the world. What should that be?

PS. In which part of Italy do you live?
