The problem is, that an upper case I, as in A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, "I", looks just like a lower case L. So I thought that was an upper case I, and therefore, Big Ben fit the clue.
Well, I'll think about it some more, then.....hmm...

Oh, cool, so Big Ben was correct? Yay!
OK, building on the second B. 6 letter word, with the B as the first letter. (BTW, the word can be spelled 2 ways, both spellings being 6 letters long)
Clue: This maritime city, whose name derives from an Old Norse word, was made famous in late 19th century European literature when it was described as sleeping, dead and mysterious.

With the G in Bruges, 8 letters:
small-waisted beauty from Cremona

I almost didn't post that, because I was misspelling Guarneri at first (thought it was "Guarnieri"
, so didn't think it fit the 6-letter requirement.
Will try to come up with a new clue....

The "a" of Guarneri becomes the last letter of this four-letter place name. It is a town in Calabria where the local dialect is based on ancient Greek. This town was the home of a brigand whose surname was the same as that of a famous lover.

Yes, you are very good! Just curious: Did you find it by researching the name of the bandit (Romeo) or by looking for a town where a Grecanico dialect is spoken?
(P.S. Can you answer the question I just posted re inter-island transport on L. Maggiore after the end on Sept.?)
