Bologna, Italy, a Center of Culture

Ask Italians which city they most prefer and Bologna will invariably top the list, yet most foreign tourists have yet to discover this charming city located in the center of the Emilia Romagna region.

If you have ever used the Italian autostrada or railways, there is a good chance you've passed through Bologna en route to Venice, Florence, or Milan because of its strategic location at the junction between northern and southern Italy

GoNOMAD Destination Guide -- Lake Como, Italy

In common with so much of Italy, Lake Como drips charm and romance. European writers, artists and composers 'discovered' the region in the 19th century and have been waxing lyrical ever since.

Italians have always known about the lake however, as for centuries wealthy Milanese and Lombardians have escaped the pollution and the humidity of the cities on a Friday, for weekends spent sailing and sunbathing...Read more



Getting Acquainted With Italy's Piedmont Region


When most people consider traveling to Italy, they think of Florence, Venice and Rome. But if you’re interested in an alternate Italian experience, with great food and wine but without the crowds, look into Torino (Turin) and the Piedmont region.

Torino is a vibrant city in Northwest Italy.  Once the seat of immense power under the House of Savoy, Torino was the capital of the newly unified Italy in 1861. 

Bordering France and Switzerland, the Piedmont region is known for fine wine – Barbaresco, Barolo and Barbera, for example - but until the Olympics this area was not so well-known to tourists, and is still a bit of a mystery...Read more




GoNOMAD: Cooking in Italy at Mami Camilla's

"I want you know the simplicity of the Neapolitan cuisine," Giuseppe Longo told us. "It is about the simple way we cook our food and the wonderful ingredients we use here," he said, setting before us a plate of very ripe yellow melon draped in prosciutto paired with the local fruity white wine.

We had stepped off the bus from the Naples airport in Sant 'Agnello, a suburb of Sorrento on Italy's southern Mediterranean coast. We sat under the shade of lemon and olive trees in the courtyard, and contemplated the week ahead at Mami Camilla's Taste of the South of Italy.

The delicious snack was a prelude to what would be a series of lessons, field trips, and big candle-lit dinners with plenty of wine and fascinating conversation...

Italy's Brescia Province: A Land of Magical Abundance

When I was seven, I had one of those thick cardboard storybooks of the tale of Pinocchio.  What it lacked in extensive storytelling, it more than made up for in illustrations.

One of the most striking images was of a heavily laden table, filled with all manner of brilliant fruits, goblets and bottles of wine, rich meats and desserts, and more importantly, a sense of magical abundance. 


It was an image that captured my attention and enchanted me. As I visited the towns, businesses, and people of Italy's Brescia province, the image I carried with me all these years seemed to come alive before me... Read more
