Maybe Padua or Verona April or May

I have not found a place in Rimini or Ravenna yet. Nothing so far that I can afford in Trieste. I have pretty much given up on house exchange except to see if they are interested in renting.  AIRbnb tends to be cheaper, but also smaller places and most are not interested in a two-month stay. Sabattical.com has some potential as a source to find the right accommodations for this time period.
