\"Family<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What many don\u2019t realise is how deeply regional pasta is in Italy. Each town or region has distinctive shapes and sauces that reflect local traditions and ingredients \u2013 making a pilgrimage across Italy one that is forever varied (and alway delicious). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the north, especially in Bologna, you\u2019ll find Tagliatelle al rag\u00f9<\/a>, ribbons of pasta with a meat sauce, is from Bologna in the north, while in Liguria you\u2019ll find trofie, a twisted pasta shape, traditionally paired with the region\u2019s famous pesto alla Genovese. Then you\u2019ll find bucatini all\u2019Amatriciana in Lazio, where Rome is, and further south in Puglia, orecchiette (meaning “little ears”) is commonly served with broccoli rabe and sausage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"View<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The five colorful villages found on Italy\u2019s Cinque Terre coast are reason enough to visit Italy. But a handful of small villages are not a city \u2013 so when huge numbers of tourists visit it can be hard to manage the crowds. But good news, the Insta-famous Path of Love has reopened and in 2025 there will be timed tickets to walk along this 900m stretch of pathway. While that seems like a faff, it means a better experience for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
