Umbria is often described as the ‘green heart of Italy’ – its gentle hills peppered with rustic hilltop towns allow wonderful panoramic views of the sunny countryside. It is understated and undiscovered and its people are cheerful, casual and unashamedly enthusiastic about their land and its produce. The food is healthy and simple, and the wine, like so many other aspects of the region, is a carefully kept secret. So why not come and venture into an Italy which, when stepping off the beaten track of the main tourism flows, is practically unknown.
No other Italian region attracts more travellers from all over the world like the magical Tuscany. However, off the tourist paths you find signs of the Etruscan civilisation, which you will meet at every turn.
Venice is world famous, but venture out from the city into the surrounding countryside of Veneto and you will discover an area unknown to the tourist.
Little changed over the centuries, the enchanting island of Sicily is a unique blend of all that is best about the Mediterranean. There are many sights and experiences not to be missed, including some of the most perfectly preserved temples and theatres in the world which are the classical remains of Sicily's many invaders dating back over 3,000 years.
The Italy of the regions: more Italy than ever before!
