title: Diverse paths: the elderly British in Tuscany.
abstract: "This paper investigates the life, migration and retirement experiences of elderly British residents of Tuscany and its adjacent districts....  Many pathways have led the elderly British to Tuscany; only a minority have simply migrated from the UK on retirement.... Key themes explored include class background, reasons for migration to Tuscany, previous connections to Italy, post-retirement behaviour, integration and future plans. The findings challenge some commonly-held ¿expectations' about the nature of retirement migration."
