There is one Italian destination in Lonely Planet’s just released annual Best in Travel 2021 list: and that is ‘Le Vie di Dante’ (Roads of Dante) in the ‘Sustainability’ category as an example of slow travel. And we're very proud to let you know that our very own Georgette Jupe, editor of Italy Magazine, has won an award in the 'Community' category' as the 'Expat Storyteller.'

This year, Lonely Planet has foregone the usual categories of ‘countries’, ‘regions’, ‘cities’ not to be missed, instead “recognizing places and people demonstrating a genuine commitment to sustainability, community and diversity;” recognizing therefore that, in the world of travel post-2020, it’s more important than ever to empower people “to travel responsibly and become agents of positive change.”
