Experiencing Italy

What to Bring

Italians typically wear stylish clothing. You don't have to wear fancy clothes, but if you don't wear your cargo trousers around town, people will be less interested in you. Pack breathable fabrics and light clothing for the summer because it will be hot. Add some sweaters and jeans for various seasons. Of course, wearing warm gear is essential in the winter in the Alps. No matter what, take some comfy walking shoes because you'll be doing a lot of walking, especially in Rome and Venice.

Food and Drink

One of the primary pleasures of visiting Italy is the cuisine. Every region has its own delicacies, and every family has its own timeless recipes that have been passed down through the generations. It is all regional cuisine that stands out for its freshness.

Food

Fresh pasta: tortelli, lasagna, carbonara, and al pesto... One of the nation's genuine culinary icons, pasta is so versatile you could eat it every day and never get tired of it. While tomato sauce is preferred in the south, cream is typically served with pasta in the northern regions.

Pizza: Italian pizza, which has its roots in Naples, is prepared in wood-fired ovens.

Risotto: This braised rice dish is typically served as a primi piatti (appetiser), mainly in the northern and central areas of Italy. It is smoother and has less additives than Spanish paella.

Gelato: Nothing tastes better in the summer than a scoop of gelato, an Italian ice cream. Feel free to treat yourself to one or two scoops each day.

Drinks

Coffee: There is no need to describe the marvels of Italian coffee. Which beverage will you be having: a cappuccino, a caffè latte, a macchiato, or an espresso?

Wines: Italian red wines, notably those from Tuscany and Piedmont, are particularly well-known worldwide.

Grappa: This wine-based liqueur is typically consumed after supper. It frequently has fruit, herbs, or spices as flavours.
