Welcome to My Love of Italy, an authentic Italian travel blog dedicated to uncovering the timeless beauty, rich history, and hidden gems of the Italian peninsula.
As a proud Italian, I’ve always believed that Italy is more than just a destination. It’s a living mosaic of history, art, landscapes, and traditions. That’s why, through this blog, I want to take you beyond the typical tourist spots. Together, we’ll explore the heart and soul of Italy’s twenty diverse regions.
Why I Created This Blog
I started this passion project with a deep desire to share the authentic Italy, the one made of quiet hilltop villages, forgotten ruins, family-run trattorias, ancient customs, and scenic routes that most travel guides overlook.

Italy’s Hidden Gems: Authentic, Intimate, Unforgettable
If you’re looking for something more personal and less crowded, Italy’s hidden gems offer truly authentic experiences.
For example, imagine Civita di Bagnoregio, a stunning village perched on a crumbling cliff. Or picture Procida, a vibrant island in the Bay of Naples, named Italy’s Capital of Culture in 2022.
In addition, you can explore Paestum, where remarkably preserved Greek temples stand quietly, often overlooked in favor of nearby Pompeii. Or simply relax in the natural thermal waters of Terme di Saturnia, nestled in the hills of Tuscany.
Because of this, these lesser-known treasures truly capture the spirit of this authentic Italian travel blog. They reveal Italy’s rich history and diverse beauty in a more intimate way.
