In the heart of the Langhe Hills (in the district of Cuneo), in the deepest, most ancient part of Piedmont, lies a village of only 700 inhabitants. Yet, its name is known worldwide, synonymous with quality and excellence. We are talking about Barolo, the small town that gave its name to one of Italy’s most […]
At a certain point, the land comes to an end. Beyond that rocky outcrop, that panoramic point, there is only the sea and a distant horizon, lost somewhere between Greece and Africa. Santa Maria di Leuca is one of the most enchanting locations in the Salento area, marking the southernmost tip of Puglia (Italy). […]
There is no better season than autumn to set out and discover ever-new historical and artistic itineraries in Italy. We suggest traveling one of these routes in Tuscany, specifically between the cities of Lucca and Siena. It is a short distance—144 km via the A11 motorway or 188 km along the State Road SS67 —taking […]
In the autumn months, a special little train connects Italy and Switzerland shuttling between Domodossola (in region Piedmont) and the city of Locarno (Canton Ticino). This is the “Vigezzina Centovalli” scenic railway , also known as the “foliage train” or the “Red Leaves Railway”. While the route covered by this small train is spectacular in […]
The island of Vulcano does not bear its name because it has a volcano inside; on the contrary, it is precisely because of this island that fire-spewing mountains are all called “volcanoes” . At first sight —so flat and low-lying— you wouldn’t even say it, yet this is a powerful volcano. The fact is that—luckily! […]
If there were a place comparable to a paradise, it would certainly be the Gargano Peninsula in region Puglia, Italy. Unspoiled nature, a dreamy sea, romantic towns. What could be more beautiful than this? Perhaps small segments of land, a few nautical miles offshore. Pieces of Italy projected toward the east, maybe much closer to […]
Albania is very trendy today, and its culture and flavors attract the interest of many tourists who book flights to Tirana Airport (TIA) just as they once did to Bali or the Maldives. But if you enjoy these traditions and still don’t want to give up the beauty of Italy, try combining the two. How? […]
Enna is in the heart of the Mediterranean basin, yet it’s one of the “coldest” cities in Italy. Its record is for being the “highest district capital”, which seems crazy at just 936 meters above sea level… Though, it is true. This town of 25,000 inhabitants, dominating Sicily from its perfect core, is often overlooked […]
Civita di Bagnoregio is one of the most evocative places in central Italy. It is located in Region Lazio, in the heart of the Tuscia district, near Viterbo, and dominates the valley below from a high spur of tuff rock… the reason for both its beauty and its misfortune. The spectacular location, combined with its […]
