This is the Untold Italy travel podcast and you're listening to episode number 197.

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, wongiorno, everyone. I'm back from six wonderful weeks in Italy, and I wanted to share with you some of the

many things I learned along the way.

On this trip, I visited some classic destinations, some family favourites, and also many,

And because, of course, Italy is the country that just

keeps on giving. The sheer diversity of each region is the reason so many of us keep going back

again and again. And that's diversity in all things, food, wine, culture, history, landscapes and even

language. It's truly amazing. One minute you're

standing on an alpine meadow surrounded by cows with huge bells around their necks and the next

you're in the Ferrari Museum in Modena, marvelling at the incredible Italian skills in technology

and design that are the cornerstone of these prestige vehicles.

This trip was mainly vacation with my family and friends, but it also included a few workstops

added in as we prepare from some new and exciting small group tours for 2024 and 2025,

which will be ready to book very soon. We're so excited to bring these places to you,
