Want to visit Italy… but want to perhaps see more than the typical places? On Chris's first trip to Italy for 7 days, we explored lovely spots like Milan, Alba and Piedmont, Bologna, and then Rome (of course!). And it was an incredible trip full of great wine, food, and sightseeing, most of which wasn't crowded at all. So we're discussing the best way to enjoy 10 days in Italy including both beloved places like Venice and Rome…as well as lesser visited spots you're sure to love! *Thank you to Walks Tours for sponsoring an ad in this episode!
