My wife & I have a trip planned for Milan , May 9-25. We will be arriving/departing Milan.

About the only piece locked up for our trip is the dates and that we both want to spend some time in/around Lake Como

She wants to head south to Cinque Terre , Siena and maybe Venice or Ravenna. I think that is too much driving and would prefer heading north to Lugano , Stresa area

While we have been toi Italy twice before, we have stayed south and ar not as familiar with this area

Also, I have seen a lot of discussion about renting a car and driving , both pros & cons, is there any reason I should be nervous about driving in Northern Italy? .

Thanks

Jerry
