The Secret Italy Index
Although a few towns and places we feature here are attracting more tourists over recent years not one of them has yet been changed or over-whelmed.
Few of them depend on tourism and all of them offer a genuine chance to experience the real Italy, an opportunity to feel welcomed and to to be able to return home with stories of connecting with real people, making their stories your own.
It's not about how many sights you can cross of a list so take your time and try to focus on one or two regions only - combining a few of the more famous touristy places with those featured here.
