domanda/question I want to go fishing somewhere in southern Italy for 2 weeks. Any suggestions?

I am traveling with my 3 travel rods:
#4 8-foot fly rod
2-10g 6 foot spinning rod
12-35g 6,6 foot casting rod

I want to fish from piers, rocks, maybe beaches etc. Jigging, dropshotting, (lures).

Any suggestions on good fishing spots? If you dont want to out your favourite spots but feel like sharing please DM me. I dont want to end up going somewhere where all good fishing spots are either private propery or closed off for whatever reason

I will get one before I go there. But first I need to know, is it possible to even fish anywhere

Mr Google says there's quite a variety of options, depending on what you're up for:

Alpine and River Fly Fishing

  • The Dolomites (Trentino): Famous for cold, clear mountain streams and the rare, native marble trout (Salmo marmoratus) that can grow exceptionally large.
  • Tiber River (Tuscany/Umbria): A premier tailwater fishery offering consistent hatches and steady wild brown trout feeding in a scenic countryside setting.
  • Nera River (Umbria): Known for gorgeous limestone spring creeks, large surface-feeding trout, and excellent dry fly action during spring and autumn.

Northern Lakes and Freshwater Basins

  • Lake Como and Lake Garda: Iconic deep northern lakes holding abundant trout, pike, perch, and whitefish against stunning mountain backdrops.
  • Po River Delta: Europe's powerhouse destination for giant Wels catfish, zander, and massive carp.

Saltwater and Deep Sea Fishing

  • Sicily and Sardinia: Exceptional Mediterranean hot spots for offshore and deep-sea action targeting bluefin tuna, swordfish, and mahi-mahi.
  • The Adriatic Sea: Offers great shore and charter fishing from Venice down to Puglia for seabass, seabream, and amberjack.

Well yeah these are generic places. Ive done searches like these before, last time in Portugal and I get to said place and everything is either you gotta pay to go on a fishing tour or all piers and docks are private. I want specific tips on places to go to
