Here goes . . .

Amsterdam,
Athens,
Berlin,
Bologna,
Montespertoli,
Montisi,
Naples,
Pienza,
Rome,
Torino.

I am slowly spreading my travel experiences beyond Italy. The problem is we like it there so much . . . it feels like home. However, there is a whole big and fascinating world out there to explore!!!!
 
I'm attempting this list chronologically:

Geneva
Nicosia, Cyprus
NYC
Vence, France
Florence (so many times I've lost count, including living there for 10 mos)
Hills outside Bergamo
Venice
Cairo
Rome
Ghent, Belgium
Paris

Others too, but not amounting to a week-long stay in one place!
 
We started going to Europe in 1990 for four weeks in Italy, now we are here in Venice for three months. We have always been slow travelers even before we knew the term. This list is done from memory since we are still here in Venice. We have stayed in many more places for less than a week. We travel simply now and just come to Venice for three months yearly. However, I have a yearning to visit Paris, London, Switzerland and a few others places in addition to Venice - hopefully in 2015.

Here's our partial list -

Paris (around a year over the years)
Venice (over a year and half over the years)
Florence (one month in 2000, and then another month in 2003)
Rome
Siena
Assisi
Gravedona on Lake Como
Bruges (about two months in several visits)
London
Fussen, Germany
Vienna
Salzburg
Budapest
Prague
Sarlat, France (a month in 2006)
St. Remy, France (three weeks in 2006)
Colmar, France
Brienz, Switzerland (five weeks in 2007)
Epesses on Lake Geneva
Pontrisina, Switzerland
Appenzel, Switzerland
