Italy is pretty epic–and it’s certainly no secret. It’s why something like 60 million international visitors come here every year and why, in turn, there’s a whole lot of tourist traps on Piazza Duomos, low-quality souvenir shops, and hotels that aren’t worth your euros.

And this is why we’ve filtered out the bad from the good for you and put together hip local guides to Milan and Como, Florence, Rome, Venice, Palermo, and the Amalfi Coast with recommendations on where to eat, drink, shop, visit, and stay–all in collaboration with Sézane, an independent French brand with deep love and respect for our country.
