Travel in Italy, don’t forget small places!
No doubt that when one thinks of Italy, the larger cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice are the stars in Italy’s vacation line-up. However, do you know that the villages between can make your holiday sizzle? Don’t expect to find them listed in a San Diego directory either. In Tuscany alone, you’ll find Cortona, the towers of San Gimignano, the etruscan Volterra, “hidden Tuscany’s” Garfagnana, little Pienza and the wine towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano. In fact, wine villages often attract the best cooks and artisans, so a drive around the Chianti Classico can be memorable as well. Outside Tuscany, there is a wealth of forgotten places that tourists never see, like the beautiful Val Camonica, where the richest concentration of rock engravings in Europe is to be found.
The best places are often the forgotten ones. So when travelling for your vacation in Italy, don’t forget the smaller places!
