Imagine tucking into a steaming bowl of Carbonara in a cosy Roman trateria,

admiring the pristine snowcap peaks of the Dolomites or gliding along a misty Venetian canal

with no summer crowds in sight. Winter in Italy is a different kind of magic and in this episode

we're taking you to Rome, the Dolomites and Venice to uncover why this season

might just be the best time to visit Italy. Pack your coat and your sense of adventure and let's dive in.

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 everyone, Katie here with an update on our recent winter trip to Italy, which was a lot of fun and offered up lovely surprises and experiences that I'd never had before.

Travelling with my family, which we did on this trip, is one of my favourite things to do in the world,

but not least because children offer up a very different perspective and opportunities to try new

things, which we did. Now, before I take you through what we did and learned on the trip,

I wanted to do a big shout out to all of you who have booked in with our trip planning consultants

to help you plan your Italian adventures. Already this year, we have helped well over 30 groups

plan their trips and it's always exciting to hear what interests you and which special

corners of Italy that you're looking to explore. I know many of you are podcast listeners and we

can't wait to hear how it all went and see some

photos. And if you wanted to do that, you can tag us with hashtag Untold Italy on our

Instagram if you're happy to share them publicly. Now, our spring tours to regional Italy are

almost full now. There's just a handful of rooms left if you would like to

join us, including the very last spot for this year that's heading to Puglia in late May.
