ADVERTISING FEATURE Italy awaits your arrival
The big-hitting cities of Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan aren’t the only ones benefitting from smaller crowds. From Bari to Bologna, clients should make the most of visiting Italy’s lesser-known cities during this quieter time.
Naples
The regional capital of Campania and Italy’s third-largest city, Naples is a storied seaside city presided over by Mount Vesuvius. Often overlooked in favour of historical gems such as Florence and Rome, Naples’ clutch of cultural assets might come as a surprise for some. In fact, the city is overflowing with castles, churches, cloisters, catacombs, ancient ruins and underground tunnels. Still not sold? It’s the home of Italian pizza too.
Turin
Turin has made a name for itself for a number of reasons. The city in northern Italy’s Piedmont produced the country’s most iconic car, the Fiat, and is said to be the
birthplace of chocolate as we know it and the Slow Food movement. But this under-the-radar city, with its tree-lined boulevards, Alps-shadowed industrial buildings and
contemporary art and live music scene, is slowly adding city-break destination to its list of achievements.
Pisa
Best known for its iconic Leaning Tower, which was allegedly already slanting when it was completed in 1372, Pisa has made a name for itself across the world. But the Tuscan city’s collection of noteworthy attractions extends beyond its tilting bell tower – the Piazza dei Miracoli, with its impressive 11th-century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and Baptistery, national museum and pretty River Arno, make this city well worth a visit.
