We\u2019re talking creamy carbonara, crispy bruschetta, and cacio de pepe\u2026 the list goes on. What if we told you all that (and more) is at your fingertips this year? That&#8217;s right &#8211; Italy and all of its splendours is reopening to travellers this summer. So whether you\u2019re seeking the romance of Venice or the history of Rome, here\u2019s 7 must-see places you simply can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tuscany-italy-s-love-affair-with-food\"><strong>Tuscany &#8211; Italy\u2019s love affair with food<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Picture this &#8211; a beautiful day driving through the lush landscapes of the Tuscan countryside, the air thick with the scent of Italian cypress trees. The destination? A family-run winery and olive oil farm. Here you\u2019ll be greeted with the warmth of Italian hospitality &#8211; a glass of local wine at the ready. Unwind for a few hours, all whilst sampling local food to the backdrop of traditional Italian music.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Looking for a home away from home? You\u2019ll be welcomed with open arms by the Lenzi family, who have been breaking bread and swirling wine with travellers for years in their family owned vineyard. Here it\u2019s the simplest things that bring the most joy. A home-cooked lunch, homemade olive oil, and the chance to exchange a few stories whilst overlooking the rolling Chianti Hills. All in a day\u2019s holiday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em><strong>BE INSPIRED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/essential-items-pack-travelling-italy-summer\/\">Essential summer items to pack on your Italian holiday<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-86779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/06\/Tuscany-hilla-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tuscany wine hills\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tuscany-hilla-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tuscany-hilla-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Tuscany-hilla.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shakespeare-s-fair-verona\"><strong>Shakespeare\u2019s Fair Verona<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Whether you\u2019re an admirer of Shakespeare\u2019s works or just a romantic at heart &#8211; Verona is a must-see destination.

Whilst walking the same steps as visitors to the games centuries ago, it\u2019s easy to imagine the excitement of the crowds and the roar of the gladiators as they fought for victory. Just a short stroll away, nestled next to the Palatine Hills, also lies the battling grounds for the chariot race. Need a moment to collect your thoughts after a trip to the past?

This ancient city, once a bustling city on Naples\u2019 bay, was devastated by the eruption of a nearby volcano. Mount Vesuvius\u2019s eruption led to almost 6 meters of ash and debris swallowing up the city, thus preserving it for centuries before its discovery in the 16th century. Since then, this UNESCO World Heritage site has become an unmissable sight for all those who travel for Italy. Want to dig further into the personal stories behind of the ruins?
