It’s Time for Turin
Opulent royal residences, decadent chocolate, industrial manufacturing, outstanding food — it’s all here in Turin, tucked in the northwest corner of Italy. Contributing writer Kevin Raub dives into the foodie scene at renowned restaurants, explores the past and present of the Fiat factories, and wanders around former Savoy family palaces. There’s something for everyone here!

From Tip to Toe: Two Delightful Italian Destinations
Bolzano, in the Dolomites, and Trani, in Puglia, are so different in many ways but alike in plenty others. Located in northern and southern Italy, respectively, these two towns offer unexpected charm. Mountainous, Austrian-influenced Bolzano has a range of experiences from wine to castles to shopping, while coastal Trani enchants with 13th-century architecture, beaches and possibly the best gelato we’ve ever had.

Hotel Spotlight: Rome’s Singer Palace Hotel
The luxurious, colorful Singer Palace Hotel — yes, as in Singer sewing machines — is a great pick for all types of travelers, including families. Its location in Rome couldn’t be better: easy walking distance from the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. To top the experience off (literally), the rooftop bar dazzles with a 1920s-inspired drinks menu.

Dream Day: Asinara
Once a prison, the island of Asinara off the coast of Sardinia has now been returned to the land. Wild donkeys and other fauna roam free, and visitors can get up close to nature whether on land or underwater in the crystal-blue sea.
