I'm not sure I will be going. For some reason I just don't seem to want to and that it is rather odd. I've been there twice, a month each time, and toured quite a bit. My son lives in the Venito region, Northern Italy, at the foot of the Dolomite Mountains. I haven't heard from him, but I'm sure he's all right. When I do go, the plane comes into Venice and then we travel up north to his place. This year we were planning to go to a Medieval Fair which is a big attraction, but I'm not sure where that is held. After that, we were going to fly to London for a few days. I have an International Driver's License so I sometimes take his car and travel around. It has a GPS in English, so I don't get lost.
Here's one of the places I drove to, up in the mountains. It's quite famous for the tragedy that happened there. All along the way there are flower memorials, statuary honoring the dead, and religious shrines to entire families:

Italy has survived many disasters over the ages. So sad. I wish I had a way to post some of my pictures, but right now I have tears for the dead. It seems disaster after disaster and death after death these days. That's another reason I may be loath to go. I'm old, right with God, and not afraid to die, BUT getting offed by some jihadist was never on my list of ways to go.
Thanks to you all for your concern for my son. I'm 99% sure he's okay. I just wish everyone was.
