Is Italy overrated or just not listening? We keep visiting the same old places, but maybe the real Italy is hiding somewhere else. There’s more to Italy than clichés and crowded sights.
Italy is often celebrated for its timeless art, history, and cuisine, but what truly makes this country special are the smaller, quieter experiences that usually go unnoticed. As an expat living amidst the Alps, I’ve discovered that there are countless opportunities to connect with nature, local traditions, and the changing seasons even in regions famed for their tourist attractions.
I forgot to tell you about my favourite event of the year here in the Alps: the narcissus flowering. There is something magical about seeing infinite meadows and feeling their perfume… By the way, I have a problem: I do not support many odors but the scent of narcissus I like and that is why I can say you that there is a big difference between the flowers that were 50 years ago and today: many flowers (and narcissus among them) do not have their fantastic profume they had when I was a girl.
