Ciao!

I'm Val

An Italian travel writer in love with my country.
Having travelled widely across the globe, I realized there was more to explore closer to home. My Italian Diaries is the place where I share itineraries, activities and off-the-beaten-path places to help you experience the best of Italy like a local!

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! ⁣⠀
⠀
👉 Next week you’ll find all the details on the blog, in the meantime take a look at the itinerary in the stories highlights⁣!⠀

#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. ⁣
