//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

From the sea to the Apennines, amid an ever-changing scenery that gets increasingly beautiful. That is the Cammino di San Francesco from Rimini to La Verna, the new addition to the St Francis Way. An exhilarating long-distance hike. Over the last few years, I’ve grown increasingly fond of slow travel, places off the beaten track, …

Parma and the Italian Food Valley: A Journey to Heaven for Gourmets

//  by Simon//  2 Comments

I can easily imagine the locals’ pride and joy when in December 2015 the Unesco named Parma Creative City of Gastronomy.

Most people know Parma because of its famous ham and Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano), probably not even relating the word to a place. French literature buffs might have read Stendhal’s acclaimed novel The Charterhouse of Parma and opera lovers probably know that Verdi was born in a town some 40 km from Parma, but I suspect that the majority of foreigners have barely heard of the city, and have no idea of where to pin it on the map of Italy.

10 Reasons to Add Beautiful Emilia Romagna to Your Bucket List

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

How many of you have heard about Emilia-Romagna, or know where it is? I bet not many.

Everyone traveling from Florence to Venice (or the other way round) goes through Emilia-Romagna and its largest city, Bologna. This Italian region is often barely an area of transit, and only a few make a stop on their way to or from Tuscany.

Locorotondo

A Dreamy Sunset Walk in Locorotondo, One of Apulia prettiest Towns

//  by Simon//  2 Comments

Less than 10 km from Alberobello, the delightful town of Locorotondo looks very different from the village famous for the trulli, the traditional whitewashed dry stone huts with their typical conic-shaped roofs.
It may not have the UNESCO WHS status of  Alberobello, but Locorotondo is listed as one of the most beautiful hamlets in Italy and it’s not hard to see why. A labyrinth of cobblestone alleys flanked by old white houses, some with beautifully decorated small balconies, other simple, square and with the pitched roofs typical of the city.

Ravenna Santa Maria in Porto-14

Postcards from Ravenna, the Marvelous City of Mosaics

//  by Simon//  Leave a Comment

I first visited Ravenna last year on a day trip from Bologna, where I spent two weeks to discover the beauty of the Emilia-Romagna region.
I had been wishing to admire the Byzantine mosaics for a long time but never managed to go, and with a single day, there was not much time to get a more comprehensive idea of the city beyond the mind-blowing ancient sites.
