Abruzzo
The wildest and possibly last unspoiled region in Italy is Abruzzo; one-third of it is designated as a national park.The Abruzzo region lies to the east of Rome and has a long Adriatic coastline as well as mountains and the ubiquitous rolling Italian countryside.
Sicily
Thousands of years ago Sicily was part of Greece and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Today it remains one of the most populated areas with many towns and villages..
Tuscany
This is where the Italian language was created. Modern Italian is based on both Tuscan and traditional Latin. Tuscany was the starting point for the Renaissance. As you might expect, therefore, this region is rich with World Heritage and other important cultural and historic sites…
Sardinia
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily. Sardinia’s different regions have strong identities and even their own languages, meaning seven languages are spoken on the island… though everyone speaks Italian, too.
Parma
The history of this part of Italy predates the Romans, and Parma was possibly originally settled by the Celts. During the Roman Empire, the town of Parma, strategically located on one of Rome’s main roads, became important.
