The Italy we all know is made of icons: the Tower of Pisa, the Colosseum, the Grand Canal. They are symbols that tell millennial stories, which fascinate millions of travellers every year. But there is another Italy, far more vast and surprising, just waiting to be discovered.

An authentic Italy, made up of villages asleep in the hills, paths hidden in nature, unknown beaches and silences full of meaning. This guide was born from this, from listening to the hundreds of responses from our community, a people of curious, passionate and attentive travellers, who told us their favourite places, those off the radar of mass tourism.
