It is the triumph of sunny beaches and silent mountains. The coast of Abruzzo stretches along one hundred thirty kilometres and there are three parks in the region, a regional park and thirty-eight reserves, WWF oasis and a number of biotypes that are interesting from the scientific point of view...
Basilicata or Lucania? It’s the same. At least since 1175, when the word “Basilicata” appeared on a document for the first time. It is unique in Italy with “the choice of its name” and it shows off a number of landscapes that suddenly change in a few kilometres to justify the definition of “mountainous land of the two seas”, the Tyrrhenian and the Ionian...
Calabria is a region with a very limpid sea, protected by old towers, once open and linked fortifications. The hinterland contains a number of caslte-villages, suspended between the present and the past, immersed in a vibrant vegetation that gathers olive groves, vineyards, agaves, cedars, prickly pears, jasmines and bergamots...
This region contains the controversial and enchanting charm of Naples with its Vesuvio. A town featured by so many contradictions and at the same time by many different facets with its alleys where the smell of pizza, coffee and sea are spread. There are plenty of jewels in the sunny Campania, the route along the coast from Salerno to Sorrento...
You can find everything in Emilia Romagna, in every season: from the beaches to the mountains of the Apennines, from the towns to the tiny medieval villages, from the baths to the temples of taste. In the county town, Bologna, there is the oldest university of the Western world as well as the cathedral of St. Petronius and the two leaning towers...
Friuli-Venezia Giulia: a border land par excellence, with the central European town of Trieste, crossroads of different cultures, its cosmopolitan personality and Neo-classical historical buildings, severe and imposing, most of them look out onto the sixteen thousand square metres of Piazza Unità d’Italia...
You read Lazio, and you think of Rome. That’s inevitable. But the region is only apparently “obscured” by the fame of the Italian capital city: it runs alongside the Mediterranean Sea and shows off famous coasts – Ostia, Fregene and Sabaudia -,the archipelago of Ponza, wavy hills often spiced out by parks – like the Circeo – and then lakes and mountains standing out against the sky...
The vocation of this region is summed up in the shape of its territory: an arch dotted with many small villages that are stick to the land and at the same time cast on the sea. And its two edges, on the West and on the East, one in front of the other like the figure-heads of a ship...
Deep sea and vertical mountains; the shape of hills in the middle. The ingredients for an astonishing travel are all there: the swashing of the sea, the silence of the hills with their farmhouses and old parishes, the routes of faith along the Metauro Valley, healthy thermal waters, the music by Gioacchino Rossini, the poetry by Giacomo Leopardi from Recanati...
The undisputed protagonist in Molise is the nature. In the hinterland there are a number of natural protected oasis, tratturi and forests while along the coast, about forty kilometres long – there are a number of resorts to relax in the sun and in the sea...
The artistic and cultural patrimony of this region is considerable, shaped throughout the centuries and now set in the showy beauty of its different landscapes. A natural piece of tapestry made of royal residences, art galleries, museums, peaks, food and wine traditions to be discovered from the ancient villages full of history...
A long “terrace” that looks out onto the Adriatic and the Ionian sea. This is Puglia, bright, friendly and at the same time sumptuous like the baroque architecture of its towns. This region attracts for the beauty of its landscapes and for its historical and artistic richness...
Lombardy is a composite picture, featuring a number of different sets with Milan that discloses its old icons through its new futurist shapes. You can start from the Cathedral (Duomo) then go to the Sforzesco Castle, after visiting the refectory of the Convent o f the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie that contains “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the main Renaissance paintings...
The map of its “trendy” beaches is common knowledge. It’s difficult to deny that, considering the two-thousand kilometres of coast featuring so different shapes and strands, the colour of the sea and the human landscapes. But there is also another Sardinia, where a millennial heart beats through the architectural remains of old colonisations and makes the island an opencast museum...
Archaic land of great emotions, Sicily is a huge strongbox of memories and civilisations dripping with “Mediterranean feelings” together with many Norman, Roman and Greek expressions. The island is camaleontic: almost a thousand kilometres of coast looking out onto foaming waves with endless cobalt and aquamarine shades, archipelago and precious islands...
Tuscany: a region with many facets, with its famous beaches of Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio and, all around, looking out onto the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Versilia. A few kilometres from this natural stage made of lively and exuberant lifestyles, there are the Apuan Alps, with their silence and their small villages curled up under the slope of the mountains peaks covered with snow...
Maybe it’s because of the mountains that stand out against the sky with their tops covered in snow that stroke the clouds’ folds. Or maybe its because of the valleys that open as corollas at the foot of the proud and magnificent mountains.
In Umbria green is the background of each shot. The different shades of colour tell about the different souls of the soil, from the silver green of olive trees of Umbria valley to the darker one of holm oaks that cover the slopes of Arnerino-Narnese to the dull one, similar to tobacco, of the Tiberina valley and finally meet the whole chromatic range of the Martani Mountains...
The medieval castles are an important presence in the landscape of Valle d’Aosta, the witness of a particular rich and intense feudal history. Sheltered behind the rocky mountains of the Doria valley, they quite rightly gained throughout the centuries the name of “Guards of the Alps” because of their strategic role...
Of course Veneto means Venezia, a case of stones and outstanding art, a history of thousands of years contained in the huge square in front of San Marco cathedral, the dazzling charm of the lagoon and the display of the palaces that face the Big Channell...
