This is the Untold Italy travel podcast and you are listening to episode number 190.

Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns

and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia.

Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes, history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta.

If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there,

you've come to the right place.

Ciao, friends, bienjourno. I hope you're all well and bringing little pieces of Italy into your life every day.

Whether that be some fun Italian music, a cheeky biscotti or a wonderful Italian movie, and of course our Untold Italy podcast.

Today we have a treat for you because we're delving into one of Italy's lesser-known cities

and let me tell you these are the ones that I love the best.

There's something about these smaller cities that encapsulate everything I love about the country,

the local culture and rituals, beautiful architecture, delicious food and wine,

and a slower pace of life.

Typically these places are hiding in plain sight, just waiting to be discovered.

And today we're visiting Vicenza in the Veneto region, a city that fits that bill nicely.

Joining us is Elizabetha Fajana from Exploro and Unexpected Italy to share all the wonderful experiences

Vicenza has to offer.

Benvenita, Elizabetta, chow, and welcome on to the Untold Italy podcast.

Grazie, Katie. Hello everyone. Thank you for having me.

Oh, it's so lovely to have you join us and I'm really excited to

chat about beautiful Vicenza. But before we dive in, would you mind introducing yourself to our

audience and telling them about what you do and how you came to be chatting with me about Vichenza?
