Ciao to you all! As part of our #VisitBasilicata month let’s go deep in the valleys of Basilicata, set amid the lunar landscape of the ‘calanchi’ (badlands) made famous by Carlo Levi’s novel Christ Stopped at Eboli, where stands the abandoned town of Craco. 

Silvia takes us on the walking route connecting Bologna with Florence, which is known as the ‘Via degli Dei’ – or the Path of Gods.

It isn’t even summer yet but we’re going to come out right now and say it, if you plan on visiting Tuscany, the best time to come is autumn, here’s why.  

Would you ever imagine that American actress Susan Sarandon has Italian roots? We put together this slideshow with stars that are more Italian than you might think!

This week we will all be familiar with the Italian for ‘please’: per favore, but here are some other ways to say please in Italian. For our dual-language read, we cover the ‘Piombi’ and the ‘Pozzi.’ They were the prisons of the Venice Republic, located inside the Doge’s Palace.

If you plan on visiting Florence anytime soon, you need to get this book before you go. Or just in time for Pitti Uomo, get your hands on this designer scarf by Sonia Rykiel featuring a delicate floral print.
