The holiday season is upon us and, if you're not into the holiday spirit yet, or you just can’t get enough of it, head to one of these three charming Italian towns, where they do Christmas right! 

The holiday season is also a good time to be thinking about helping other people - a good way to make more meaningful Christmas presents or New Year's resolutions. That’s why we have put together a list of five worthy Italian charities you can choose to help. 

Temperatures are dropping, and you know what you need to warm up? Bombardino, a popular winter drink in Italy, especially at the ski resorts. Find out how it will warm you up in our dual language article. 

Another great cold weather remedy would be to visit one of Italy’s best free hot springs, we tell you where to find them! 

This December is packed with exciting events and festivals all over Italy, we have the hot list in our monthly ‘What’s On’ feature.
