Thank you, this is a wonderful video! I have been to Italy several times and have not been to most of these! Saving this video for my next trip!! Much appreciated!!
Rapallo and San Fruttoso can be done together, short train from Rapallo to camogli which is also a hidden gem then short boat ride to San Fruttosso. Travelled to that region last year, it is truly a hidden gem.
What a beautiful video! I regret I haven't been to any of these places. My favorite hidden gem was on a long-ago bus (coach) package tour, when en route from Assisi to Rome we stopped for a couple of hours at the Fonte di Clitunno. An exquisite oasis in a parched, hot landscape. It was on private land, with the owners running a little "restaurant" where you could get tea and coffee. I skipped these and wandered through this place, sacred in Roman times. Never-failing springs rise from the stony hills and forms a series of pools or small lakes from which the river Clitunno flows. Willow trees, grass, swans on the lake. More springs rise through the lake waters, which seem to bubble with life. Not sure where one could stay in the area, but for a cool stop on a hot drive, you couldn't beat this. Not sure if this counts as hidden, but certainly less visited than the bulk of the sites in the Naples/Amalfi coast area is Paestum, a bit south of Salerno. Three Greek temples, lost for centuries in the woods that blanketed the area, and then rediscovered. If you can't get to Greece, or Sicily, at least you can see great Greek architecture in mainland Italy!
Mi occupo di turismo internazionale da più di 30 anni, incoming... E' in errore!!! Molte di quelle mete fanno parte degli itinerari dei maggiori tour operators internazionali da decenni! Matera, Alberobello, Civita di Bagnoregio, Passo Gardena, Rapallo etc, sono packed di turisti stranieri.
Well, the same applies for Civita, Matera, Alberobello ... They have been part of the major tours itinerary for big american tour operators and not only for years and years. They're packed with tourists from all over
Question for you please - in the Matera section, at 6:30, you mention "once an ancient settlement in Jordan." I'd like to find out more about what that means. I've just done some googling and can't find that connection. Can you help me out please? Thanks so much.
It's wrong: the only parallelism with Giordania is that as Petra they're dugged and Petra and Matera are sister cities. Bare in mind that Alberobello, Matera, Civita, Passo Gardena are NOT hidden places: they're world wide famous, for years have been included in the major itiniraries for big tour operators...
the town of castelluccio was almost completey destroyed in 2016 earthquake , you can still visit of course. the attraction is not much the town but the "piane" : the plateau surrounded by the mountains
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 I have a quick question: 🤷♂️ I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Can someone explain what this is? 😅
Amazing. I love going on this virtual journey. While the drone footage is spectacular, would you consider the tourists" point of view? After all, not all of us are lucky enough to have a drone. Thanks.
Ho vissuto 3 anni In Italia e girato molti posti. Mia sorella abita la ora 50 anni e deve mandare i figli all’estero per lavorare.Solo ricchi vivono bene- tutti gli altri sono prigionieri del vostro socialismo che rovinato Italia.
I don't know if you're Italian but your pronunciations are spot for all but one: Capri: It's not ca-pree, but simply Capri. I wouldn't normally comment, but since you nailed everything else...
For God's sake did you understand if is Capri. +--_good, that's all it matters - - Italians always see not a full half bottle but always an empty half - - get a life, be less picky
@@willwhitneymusic plenty beautiful places that are less touristic and also worth a visit ! Beautiful villages in the Tuscan’s mountains like GARFAGNANA - it’s beautiful and a little bit further to Emilia Romagna part - there few small beautiful villages like Pieve Pelago, abetone and Sestola - :) that is I call underrated and many more- in the Tuscan countryside not far from Pisa - there is PECCIOLI - well . I can tell you it’s a lot of beautiful places here than what I have mentioned … and definetely less touristic and you could have a feel of how local people living exactly if you love to explore about local cultures here
Saturnia is very nice, bus loads of people with open wounds on thier legs or feet.. skin defects of all types… god bless all of them.. but try to be upstream from that crowd…
At Saturnia I saw a very strange site - a pizza vending machine. Saturnia is very popular with German tourists because they love thermal baths and it's free. So put your money in it and get a microwaved individual pizza from a machine. Only the Germans.... PS, nice try at Italian pronunciation but no kewpie doll. Sometimes 'e' is open and sometimes closed and it's not always clear, even regional. Etc.
Some years ago, my mother and I had a week staying on the Lido (more relaxing and a bit cheaper than the center of Venice!). We made a great day trip via public transportation to Chioggia, at the far west of the lagoon. Local bus along the Lido island, ferry to another island, another bus, and then another ferry, if I remember correctly. (From Venice itself, I suppose you could do it, using terry to Lido, but it might be quite a long day. Not too tiring--the schedules were aligned, and I think once the bus drove onto the ferry.) Chioggia is a very beautiful town or small city, in the Venetian style, with a long main street--pedestrians only, I think. Handsome churches and main buildings. If you are touring in your own car, it would be possible to drive from Venice along the mainland. You could do a day trip, or if you are going from city to city, then perhaps stay overnight. Otherwise, the ferry from Venice to Murano, Burano, and Torcello is a must. Torcello is the end of the line, a low-lying island with some very old buildings, including an ancient church and museum, clustered at the end of a pretty walk along a canal. Very rural. The church (I think it may be classed as a cathedral) had magnificent murals and msaics. It's a bit like stepping back in time. If you are touring, Ravenna is a must; quite a long drive from Venice, and there's so much to see that I think a day trip might be rather rushed and frustrating. I had about three days there and still didn't see everything! I didn't get to take a boat trip to the cemetery island in the lagoon, which is supposed to be very interesting (it would be in any Venice guidebook--I forget its name. San Michele??)

Not by the brits they love dayon the beach and nights in disco/bars - - one must be interested in culture history art otherwise all they ever know is Costa blanca, del sole,
They're not hidden. They're in Italy, italians knows them. Actually many of them have been packed with turists for decades. They have been part of tours itinerary for long: Matera, Alberobello, Civita, Brisighella, Castelluccio etc... Packed with foreign tourists,
Rapallo? Seriously? We even created an Italian word, "Rapallizzazione" to mean indiscriminate and unchecked construction building that ruins an area. On the east coast of Liguria, other than the already famous Portofino and Cinque Terre I would recommend Sestri Levante instead.
