Beyond the Tourist Script

Italy as it is

Explore By Region


Hi there

If you're looking for a less touristy Italy, you've come to the right place. I’m in my fifties. After living in Poland, Greece, Cyprus, and Scotland, I ended up in Apulia with Mauro, my Italian partner. I love off-the-beaten-path places, mountains, nature, and food. I only write about places I’ve visited, without pretending I love everything. Here, you’ll find beautiful and delicious Italy. But also its annoying, megalomaniacal, and weird side. Just Italy as it is.
