Believe it or not, retiring in this place might cost less than staying in your hometown — and this is one of the most beautiful places in Europe.

Hollywood frequently uses this region as the backdrop for very famous movies. From Oscar winners like Life is Beautiful and The English Patient to blockbusters like Gladiator and James Bond — Quantum of Solace.

This part of Italy has more than beauty. It is sunny - on average, it has 290 days of sunshine and clear skies per year.

It is healthy - people there live almost 84 years on average, a life expectancy similar to Japan and Switzerland and much higher than the US.
