5 Hidden Inland Italian Towns

Hidden Inland — Five Mountain & Hill Villages Tourists Miss

The Italy beyond the coastline. A village built on a crumbling tuff plateau, reached only by a footbridge. Stone houses pinned between vertical spires. An alpine hamlet that still speaks a medieval German. A village that floats above a sea of wildflowers. Five places where the silence is the attraction.

Inside: Five inland villages — Civita di Bagnoregio, Castelmezzano, Sauris, Castelluccio di Norcia, and Locorotondo — each with what makes it itself, how to get there, where to sleep, where to eat, and the one thing a local would tell you over coffee. 9 pages, beautifully designed, mapped end to end.

For the traveller who's done the postcards and is ready for the Italy that doesn't fit inside one.
