I love the volunteering idea as well as the travel blog.

We've traveled fairly extensively through Europe. We've been to Italy multiple times. I thought they might enjoy heading out just the two of them to see what they discover. They get along very well.

They can probably understand Italian better than speaking it (same here.) However, no formal training. We will definitely offer up lessons to them as well.

My then husband took a job in Torino some years ago and we lived there for a year and a half. It's a wonderful city and I enjoyed my time there, but the summer climate is hot and muggy and pretty uncomfortable on many days. At the time, many Torinese we knew headed for the hills and mountains to escape the heat and humidity. In looking for current climate information for the city, I found this site: https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/italy/turin . It would be a good resource for climate information on other cities as well. I'm sure you and your family will enjoy a great experience living a month in Italy wherever you land.

The Po valley can get pretty humid, I ran into a Texan near Padova and he was complaining he had never had it so bad. We were staying on the top of the mini mountain Colli Euganai and that made a serious difference in the humidity

Hot and muggy is relative. If you look for Bologna on that same "climates to travel" website, you'll see that Bologna is considerably more hot and muggy than Torino.

By the way, that website has figured out that if you dispense with a search function, you can make the user click through four ad-laden pages (world, continent, country, and city) to see a different city. Very clever!
