How to recognise an authentic village

Not all villages are the same. Here are the signs that tell a living town from a postcard for tourists.

Cellars on the hills, oil mills, village taverns. When the journey passes through the palate, the memories last longer.

Everyone knows the Italy of the great cities. The Italy of the villages is a secret told in a low voice. Here's why it's worth the journey.

From the Transiberiana d'Italia to the historic trains: when the landscape slides past the window, the destination begins on board.

Setting off with a group and a tour lead takes nothing away from authenticity: on the contrary, it opens doors that would stay closed on your own.

The historic train that crosses the Apennines among villages, snow and high plateaus. When to go, what to see and how to experience it well.

A still-warm sea, villages without the crowds, the flavours of the harvest. Why October in the South is the season true travellers wait for.
