Question about the consulate interview in Italy

I have been looking at the timelines of other couples whose SO is from Italy, and I noticed that literally all of the interviews seemed to be held in Napoli. My fiancé is from the north of Italy and we had planned to select the Milano consulate as our selected location. However, I'm starting to think there's something going on with this since nobody else seems to have interviewed there (or anywhere else, like Roma or Firenze). Any advice is greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you!

I can't advise you on Italy but in Russia immigrant visas have always been processed in Moscow only (even before august). So try to check the local thread or have your fiance check italian online immigration forums or maybe even call the embasyy to make sure. cuz this might be the reason why only Neapoli is shown here

You don't get a choice - immigrant visas, including K-1, are only processed in Naples.
