Exploring the Veneto Beyond Venice
Beyond Venice, Italy’s fourth most populous region – Veneto – is often skipped entirely beyond Venezia‘s waterways. Our contributing writer Kevin Raub thinks that’s a shame (as do we) and details some enchanting experiences in the Veneto‘s less-visited towns and cities. From wine tasting in the Valpolicella to taking in stunning views in Asolo to enjoying the architecture of Palladio in Vicenza to taking in the frescoes of Padova, don’t miss the treasures of the Veneto!
Eating Safely in Italy with Food Allergies
Travel can be daunting for anyone who suffers from food allergies. We asked Allie Bahn aka Miss Allergic Reactor to share what makes Italy a country that many with these allergies may find easier to navigate than expected! Allie overs everything from restaurant dining and aperitivo to shopping in supermarkets to staying in an apartment vs. hotel (and the pros and cons of each). Plus a list of handy tips for allergy travel in Italy!
Dream Day: Ravenna Mosaics
The first glance of a breathtaking masterpiece, landscape or architectural triumph is the stuff from which Italian moments are made. In Emilia-Romagna, there’s perhaps no better such “wow” moment than at the incredible Early Christian Monuments of the Ravenna UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meet Watercolor Artist Sophia Khan
How stunning is our cover this issue? That’s “Awaiting Adventure in Venice” by watercolor artist Sophia Khan, who combines her keen eye for architecture with her love of color to use Venice as her muse.
