There was a time, between the 1980s and 1990s, when Bali was on everyone’s lips. A top honeymoon destination, a favorite summer getaway, a favorite among rich celebrities from around the world… the planet’s paradises seemed to have been erased by a single happy word: Bali. What else could there be? Then, with the […]
There is a Latin tradition that has been preserved intact for centuries, primarily in Italy but also elsewhere in the Mediterranean basin. It is the tradition of the “infiorata” (flower tapestry) much more than a simple artistic installation: a true celebration of spring. The tradition was born, as often happens, from religion and specifically from […]
There’s a strip of land, facing the Isle of Man (Great Britain), that juts out toward neighboring Ireland with uncertainty, as if it wanted to touch it but gave up at the last moment, recoiling. This strange square hump, this “lump” on the side of the largest island in the British archipelago, so ugly to […]
Do you want to ski in a lively, fun, yet very very quiet resort? If you can pronounce the name… come to Ischgl, Austria’s Tyrol, in the heart of the Alps. Switzerland and Liechtenstein are just a stone’s throw away, and you shall spend days skiing amidst stunning panoramas or exploring the surrounding areas of […]

But not so much the continental part, that is the nation nestled at the tip of the Iberian Peninsula, overlooking the Atlantic, but rather the “flashes” of Portugal scattered across the ocean. This country includes two archipelagos, both European despite being located in the middle of the Atlantic. […]
The safest tourist destination in the world? Kazakhstan! No, it’s not a joke… this little-known nation, nestled between enormous authoritarian powers such as Russia and China, has based its entire policy on the ancient wisdom of its nomadic peoples. That is, on diplomacy. It’s not easy to remain neutral in that geographical area, but Kazakhstan […]
Between February and March, at the foot of Mount Etna, a tradition is repeated: every year, almost uninterrupted, since the distant 16th century. It is the Carnival of Acireale, the mardi gras festival that lights up the Sicilian coastal night, often competing with the volcano’s lava fountains in the background. The heart of this […]
If patriarchy isn’t your thing, fly to the Seychelles! This incredible archipelago, both in its beauty and its contradictions, is in fact a matriarchal society. Here, not only do women rule, but the figure of “single mothers” is the normal basis of the family, while men are literally “used” only for the purposes of reproduction […]
