There is a way to travel through Italy where you stop being a spectator and you start being part of the picture.

You hear the church bells in the next valley, you smell the wood smoke before you reach the local farmhouse.

Today we are stepping outside to discover some active adventures initially.

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, all right tuti and welcome to the Untold Italy podcast.

I'm your host, Katie Clark, and I'm the founder of this podcast and our company, Untold

Italy.

Our goal is to help you find the version of Italy that you are looking for. I'm the founder of this podcast and our company Untold Italy. Our goal is to help you find the version of Italy that you are looking for, not necessarily the highlights, though we love them too,

but the Italy that's away from the crowds and inspiring for those daily rituals, seasonal celebrations

and the most friendliest of people. Today we are stepping outside into

Italy's beautiful natural wonderland, off the train, off the bus, off the world trodden path

between Venice, Florence and Rome. This is an episode that many of you have asked for.

So walking holidays, cycling trips and soft adventure in Italy. It's a topic that I

have wanted to cover for a long time, but I really needed to find the right person to talk to,

someone who knows all those trails and routes and knows the country very well and understands

what makes his style of travel so rewarding. Our guest, Monica Price, is that person, and I'm so pleased to have her on the show.
