    “Italy’s most beautiful city.” You could say that about a LOT of places in Italy. Which is why Italy is so awesome.

    Most underrated city in Italy. And still unknown to the most. Definitely worth visiting if ever travelling to the near Puglia Region

      @maiorino92 4 роки тому +4

      Matera is not underrated, it's the 2019 european capital of culture, this brought there a lot of tourists and people generally appreciate the city :).
      Actually as an apulian I think Matera is a bit overrated but it's just my opinion. I prefer cities like Alberobello, Ostuni and Lecce to make 3 typicall examples

    In high school I got to go on a school trip to Italy, and we did Assisi, Florence, and Rome. Though I loved both Florence and Rome, Assisi captured my heart completely, because it’s just this gorgeous medieval town in the hills. Great video!

Honestly even with the touristy aspect of it ROME is my favorite. The food was amazing there’s so much history and beauty there. You must go see ROME. Thank you for sharing your travels.

    I stayed in Italy for two weeks this summer in the town of Amelia! The surrounding towns are BEAUTIFUL and so few tourists but my favourite was Perugia. As much as I love the smaller towns, I always look for livability and Perugia, although it has the feel of small village old Italy, is somewhere I could see myself living.

I drove down the coast to Amalfi and also Paestum which has three famous Greek temples that are really stunning. Paestum was a Greek town and religious centre in Southern Italy and the Amalfi coast is very famous. I did not get to Metera which is a shame but you have reminded me that I should visit. Thanks as always for another wonderful video.
