Ciao,
As December wraps its cold arms around Italy, the time for misty mornings, Christmas markets (the one above is here in Trieste), church bells, roasted chestnuts, and Christmas cheer is here.

And if you're anything like me, your thoughts are already drifting toward where your next Italian adventure might take you. We've quite a few ideas for you this month. And, with that, it is on to this month’s featured Italian wanderings... News from ItalyAll the latest news and articles are on our blog page.Join our FREE Broadcast ChannelDon’t Miss Out!

7 Coastal Towns That Stole Our Hearts
Italy in winter might conjure snowy Alps or Christmas markets, but I keep dreaming of summers by the sea. If you too would like to dream of warm summer days in Italy, seaside gelato, and endless dolce vita, then here are 7 of the most beautiful coastal towns in Italy. Udine – The City Nobody Talks About (But Should)
Tucked away in the little-known region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Udine remains one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. No crowds, no hurry. Just Venetian-style piazzas, spritz and prosciutto under ancient porticoes, and locals who greet you like an old friend. William loved the pastries; Maria loved the quiet elegance; I loved that it felt real, untouched. I felt that I could easily live in such a city.
The Dream (and Reality) of Buying an Old House in Italy
We all know the fantasy: a crumbling stone house, olive trees in the garden, and the sound of church bells drifting through the morning fog. But what happens after you sign the papers and the roof starts leaking? We’ve put together an honest look at what it’s really like to buy and restore an old house in Italy: the costs, surprises, joys, and heartbreaks.
Here's everything you need to know.
From our family to yours — may your Christmas be filled with peace, good health, and small Italian moments of joy: a candle glowing in a window, the sound of laughter around the table, perhaps a plate of panettone or pandoro shared with someone you love.
