Italy, the bel paese (beautiful country), is well worth visiting! And not only for its famous art and architecture but also for its landscapes, climate, food, and people, which are equally charming, warm, and even breathtaking. In this lecture, you’ll hear briefly about Italy’s famous landmarks. Our real focus will be the l’altra Italia, the relatively unknown yet breathtakingly beautiful regions and cities of Italy—places that you can discover either by bike, foot, train, or boat. These places offer the art, architecture, and way of life that you dreamt about and hope to see. Join a travel expert and native of Italy, while we armchair travel from the Italy’s north to south, learn about travel options, and how to plan your trip so that your memories will last a lifetime.
