Did you know that in Italy there’s a museum where you can touch every art piece on display?⠀
⠀
It’s @museoomero in Ancona, completely designed for visually impaired people using touchable replicas and casts of some of the world’s greatest artworks.⠀
⠀
You can touch every piece and feel those little details that are often unnoticed, such as the wound in Jesus' foot in Michelangelo's Pietà - such a unique experience!⠀
⠀
📌 Head to the link in bio to read about this and all the other top things to do in Ancona, the capital of Le Marche region. ⠀

It’s all about the soul in the Majella National

It’s all about the soul in the Majella National Park ❤️⁣
⁣
One of the (many) things I loved about my recent trip in this beautiful corner of Abruzzo is the range of unique accommodation options it offers, each with a story to tell... not a soulless hotel chain in sight!
⁣
For example, this adorable wooden cabin is from @dimoremontane, a beautiful glamping site immersed in a forest near Roccamorice. It’s managed by four friends who quit their jobs and joined forces to turn an abandoned structure into sustainable lodging.⁣
⁣
You can sleep among the sounds of nature in a tent or cabin, but they also have camping grounds and more traditional rooms.⁣
The setting is truly amazing and the guys are fabulous hosts! ⁣
⁣
This is just one of the reasons why I suggest considering the Majella National Park for your next trip to Italy. 👉 Find the others in the link in bio! ⁣

⠀
If there's one colour that defines Abruzzo, it’s green!⁣⠀
⠀
Green as its mesmerizing landscape but also as the slower type of tourism the region offers ❤️⁣⠀
⠀
A week ago I was there to explore the @parcomaiella and some of its most beautiful sights - from monasteries nestled in the rock and wolf wildlife areas to idyllic agriturismi serving unique traditional dishes and scenic mountain roads leading to picturesque villages brimming with ancient festivals and artisanal traditions.⠀
⠀
Have you already visited Abruzzo? It was the first time for me and I can't wait to return! ⁣⠀

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the referendum with which Italians voted against the monarchy and in favour of the birth of the Italian Republic! ⁣

#lomellina is the place where I was born and curre

#lomellina is the place where I was born and currently live, but I never really gave the area the attention it deserves.

Very big mistake 🤦‍♀️

During a recent #blogtour organized by @galrisorsalomellina , I discovered a magical rural world largely off the tourist radar, yet far from lacking in fascinating natural, historical, and artistic attractions. And I realized that all this time I’ve been seriously missing out a lot...
⁣
📌 Lomellina is only an hour’s drive from Milan so do take a look at the article on the blog if you’re in search of a unique trip off the beaten path from the city!

Have you ever tried frittura di pesce (mixed fried fish)? I love it!! ⁣
This tempting paper cone is from @friggitoriasangiorgio in the town's Old Port. ⁣

The Incompiuta di Venosa, a treasure of stone that charms visitors despite being totally incomplete ❤️⁣
⁣
Yes, this church was left unfinished, most probably because the Benedictine monks who were subsidizing the project back in the 11th century didn't have enough money!
⁣
You’ll find it in the archeological park of Venosa, a lovely town in Basilicata and birthplace of the Latin poet Horace.⁣
⁣
By the way, I’ve read that this church is on the travel wishlist of many couples because it’s said to bring luck and happiness to those who visit it. I don’t remember feeling any luckier after my visit, but then I wasn’t paired up so no luck for me 😂 ⁣
⁣
Joking apart, save this post if you’re planning to visit Basilicata, as Venosa is really pretty! ⁣

In Italy, you don't have to travel far to find something wonderful. ⁣
⁣
That’s exactly what happened to me last weekend, when I spent a couple of days finding beauty in my own backyard, Lomellina.⁣
⁣
The gorgeous scene in the picture is Rosasco, a tiny little village of 500 souls immersed in a splendid countryside of rice fields, canals and farm estates. ⁣
And guess what? It’s only one-hour drive from Milan!⁣
⁣
It’s true that we often go to great lengths to travel halfway across the world without giving our backyards a chance ❤️
⁣
And you? Have you given your own backyard a chance?⁣

Hey everyone! It’s been quite a whole six months

Hey everyone! It’s been quite a whole six months since I shared any updates here and I think it’s time to show my face and fill you in.⁣
⁣
Like for many of us, the last year and a half has been pretty rough, with no travel, business uncertainty and some health issues to deal with. I really needed a break from all things social, my head was totally somewhere else, that’s why I disappeared.⁣

But I’m finally back and ready to continue sharing all things related to travel and life in Italy! ⁣
⁣
By the way, the last months weren’t all bad:⁣
-I had some amazing blog coaching sessions with @sabrina_barbante
- I treated myself to the fabulous @pianeta.venice photography course by @ire.ferri
- I planned some great new trips around Italy ⁣
- I’m getting ready for what promises to be a super interesting blog tour in my own backyard⁣
⁣
How have you guys been doing? What are you up to these day? ❤️⁣
