As a marchigiano (native of le Marche) who lives in this region, I can attest to the Marche’s scenic beauty and culinary tradition. The cuisine is made up of simple and authentic flavors. In most cases, they are built around high-quality ingredients that have been grown and produced locally for generations. Tradition has it that way. In this articl...

The Reggia di Caserta is one of Italy’s many marvels and it has been part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1997. Designed in the 18th century by Neapolitan architect Luigi Vanvitelli, it is by many considered the most splendid example of Italian Baroque architecture, a perfect mix of the grandiosity and opulence of France’s Versailles and Spai...
