I've visited all 20 regions in Italy. Skip the big cities and head to one of these 4 charming small towns instead.
As someone who's traveled across Italy, I love visiting smaller towns here. Some of my favorites are Pizzo in Calabria and Barga in Tuscany.
Kaitlyn Rosati, a traveler who has visited every Italian region, including most of them multiple times, suggests that visitors skip the big cities and explore charming small towns instead. She highlights four such towns: Barga, Termoli, Pizzo, and Torre di Palme.
Barga, located in Tuscany, is known for its Scottish influence, historic Duomo di San Cristoforo, and local wineries like Podere Concori. Termoli, a beach town in Molise, offers picturesque beaches, delicious gelato, and caciocavallo cheese. Pizzo, in Calabria, is a beach town with Tartufo di Pizzo, a chocolate gelato dessert, artisan markets, and trattorias serving local specialties like nduja.
Torre di Palme, in Marche, is a medieval village with palm trees, historic streets, olive all ascolana, and panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea.
