Italy is a land full of surprises… a “big little world”,
old and new; and sometimes it is the little surprises that are the
most lasting. From village to village, the art, history, myth and nature
combine to form the plot of an exciting open book; still little known to
most people. Our intent is to intrigue and to (why not?) urge you to take
the car, motorbike, bus, train, plane or any other means of
transport, and run to visit these beautiful and fascinating
villages!
