Everyone seems to love traveling in Italy. It’s a land of wonderful food and wine, centuries of history and art, and, of course, that wonderful dolce vita. But while traveling in Italy most of us stick only to the usual suspects – Rome, Venice, Florence, the Amalfi Coast, Bologna, etc.

All are well worth visiting, of course. But there are many other surprises that await if you dig just a bit deeper into the magnificent countryside. There, among the ever-changing landscape, you’ll find some of the best places in Italy you likely haven’t heard of.
