I did an Interrail trip in March, Naples-Matera-Lecce-Perugia-Bologna. I'd been to Bologna before and would have liked to spend more time there, but accommodation is scarce and expensive.

My wife is gluten and dairy free, and there's not much left of Italian food when you take those out. (Turkish food is WAY better for us). The food market in the centre of Bologna is great. We found Lecce the least interesting of the places we went to, but Steve Shaw here gets a lot more out of it.
