That sounds like an amazing trip! Many black travelers have shared positive experiences in Italy, particularly in larger cities like Rome and Milan, where there's more diversity. For accommodations, consider staying in neighborhoods that are popular with locals, such as Trastevere in Rome or the Navigli district in Milan. Both have a vibrant atmosphere and friendly locals.

Cultural experiences like visiting the African Diaspora Museum in Rome can be incredibly enriching. Also, engaging with local communities through cooking classes or workshops can provide a warm welcome and deeper connections.

If you do encounter challenges, remember to stay confident and reach out to fellow travelers or locals for support. Have you planned any specific activities yet that you're excited about?
