About Italy’s Dream Tourism and Italian Partnership with Priscilla

Those who follow me know that I always want to bring to my readers and followers the best of the best when we talk about Italy, and this goes for tips on restaurants, places to visit, little-known cities, etc. My intention is always to make people feel at home in Italy even before traveling, even in the details, and this goes beyond planning. I always make a point of pointing out that Italy goes far beyond the classic itinerary of Rome, Milan, Florence, and Venice and this lesser-known Italy needs to be seen, as it is as precious as its famous ‘sisters’!
