Many thanks for the mention. I love your post too and I'll certainly be looking at "Save Vernazza". Buon Natale.

Thanks for highlighting two ways to help preserve the small towns of Italy. People never think of the downside of what tourism can cause to a tiny town.

And thanks for including me :)

Thanks for sharing this. I'm lucky to live in Basilicata and while it's not well known to tourists, there are lots of gems here to explore!

Re: 9 Romantic Spots in Rome

Dear Melanie, I am a resident in Rome, but I must disagree
with your suggestions:

The Appian Way is a beautiful place but it is not certainly
romantic, especially in the weekends and at night is not a safe place, Via della Riconciliazione
is a major road from St. Peter's, and here there
is nothing to see or do I would
say that is not a romantic
way, via Giulia is
an almost dead street, have you ever tried to walk through via
Giulia in the evening? I assure
you that is not romantic, it
is very dimly illuminated, it
might be suggestive, interesting but
romantic not at all! The name for Spanish
Steps is just
Piazza di Spagna,
this place is always very crowded and full of tourists
and is definitely the place less romantic in Rome, on
the other hand is definitely the most
touristy!

Melanie, I am looking forward to participating...if I can come up with a good idea about "gits" that is. I just participated in the Bootsnall's 30 days of Indie Travel - it was a great experience. Looking forward to your challenge. Will keep you "posted" :). toni

I love Venice and getting lost is all part of the experience. Wandering around in circles, exploring the markets, stopping for gelati and eventually finding ourselves at the edge of the lagoon we take a break and watch the boats motoring by. Sweet memories.

Stunning. I was fortunate to be in Basilicata (mostly Matera) for a couple days. I would return in a heartbeat.

I find it very touching that a country that was unaffected by the events that occurred that day still mourned with us.

Re: What Is There to Write About Italy That Hasn’t Been Written Before?

What is there to write about Italy that hasn’t been written before?

You might as well ask, “What is there to write about love and life, triumph and sorrow, joy and loss, that hasn’t been written before?

So, what is there to write about Italy that hasn’t been written before?

Everything.

You are absolutely right. Castello Banfi is a large producer. I'm looking forward to reading about the smaller producers in your article.
