The Balconies of Italy: 6 Foothill Towns You Should Get to Know 
by Toni DeBella

Italy is bursting at the seams with charming hilltop towns and languishing seaside villages. Lesser-known and often overlooked, foothill towns spill down the lower slopes of some of the country’s most dramatic mountain ranges, offering sweeping vistas as far as the eye can see. (And many times, without the crowds such vistas tend to attract.)

This Amalfi Coast Town is All Charm, No Crowds
by Sander Van Den Broecke

Nestled in the Campanian seaside cliffs between astonishing Amalfi and sensational Salerno lies the lesser-known town of Maiori. Home to the longest stretch of beach on the Amalfi Coast, centuries’ worth of religious and cultural history and a gorgeous waterfront promenade, Maiori is the perfect place for a relaxing, romantic getaway.

How to Make the Most of Homemade Pesto
by Jessica Paholsky

Pesto is most often associated with the northwest region of Liguria. While a trip to savor the freshest pesto on the planet may be tempting, until you can get to Genoa or somewhere nearby, this guide to making the most of your next homemade pesto is more practical.

A Wine-Lover’s Guide to Chianti Classico in Tuscany
by Dick Rosano

The rolling hills of Tuscany have drawn hordes of people over the centuries – promising peace of mind, grand art, sumptuous meals, and fine wines. Part of the allure is that the region defies the march of time, somehow merging the blissful comfort of pastoral lands and ancient stories of love and intrigue with the satisfying pleasures of modernity.

How to Use the Imperative in Italian
by L'Italiano Porticando

In English, as in most languages, when we want to express a request, extend an invitation or even give a direct command, we rely on the imperative:

Exclusive recipes

Primo
Lumachine alla Schegginese: Trout Pasta From Rural Umbria
by Francine Segan

This dish is a specialty of the tiny hill town of Scheggino in Umbria, known for its delicious freshwater trout. Trout, caramelized onions, and tomatoes season the snails — or snail-shaped pasta, that is! 

Secondo
Rombo e Cardoncelli: Fish with King Trumpet Mushrooms
by Francine Segan

Turbot, a popular fish in Italy, is white with flesh that’s meaty yet delicate and tender. Here, the filets are cooked on the stove in a pan with grill ridges, but this recipe also works terrifically if you flour- or batter-dip and fry the fish. While turbot is preferred, the recipe is also wonderful with other white flesh fish like halibut or flounder.

Sandro Botticelli and the Strange Story of the Mystic Nativity
by Laura Morelli

The birth of Christ — the Nativity — is one of the central images of Christian iconography and an immensely popular subject for Italian artists through the ages. The Nativity immediately brings to mind Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus in a manger surrounded by animals, angels, and visiting kings.

Enter Another Dimension at Olafur Eliasson’s Exhibition in Florence
by Liz Shemaria

Olafur Eliasson’s installation in Palazzo Strozzi’s courtyard is dizzying. The 36 x 26 ft flickering moiré pattern of two overlaid grids called Under The Weather hovers over visitors and seems to move with them as they walk. The topsy-turvy experience is a preview of the artist’s most significant exhibition in Italy to date, Nel Tuo Tempo (In Your Time).
