But how can you identify it? It’s quite simple. Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena must be sold in 100ml bottles designed to represent the shape of a drop of the liquid inside […]
A lack of beaches means Trani is generally bypassed by many foreign tourists, yet this elegant little town was once an important trading port, second only to Venice in the Adriatic. […]
A procession of trulli fill the urban valley below, climbing up the hillside opposite, so tightly clustered together all that’s visible of most are their wizard-hat roofs. […]
Matera was no stranger to Hollywood when the Bond circus rolled into town to film No Time to Die, the final instalment of Daniel Craig’s tenure as Britain’s super spy. […]
Our most recent exploration was a dream job in that it involved putting together a gastronomy odyssey through Italy’s Food Valley in the culinary heart of the country. […]
Sitting at the crossroads of Italy’s main communications arteries, Reggio Emilia remains stubbornly below the tourist radar, despite its proximity to, and easy access from Modena and Parma. […]
