Discover
the unknown, beautiful and tasteful Italy!
This is Part One of a two-part series on some of the
less explored regions of Italy.
Our Italian HEI colleague, Mr Paolo Lorenzi, shares
his favourite places and gives you some tips on where
you can find authentic Italian culture while travelling
in the Italian province. To help you save money, he
recommends a member hotel in each area.
Every town in Italy is rich in history, monuments,
museums and places to be seen along with their own
delicious and different food specialties and local wines!
Famous places such as Rome, Florence and Venice, are
never to be missed, but if you have the opportunity to
drive a little off the main turistic itineraries, there
are many places worth stopping.
