Everybody goes to visit the splendid tourist attractions of Florence and Rome, yet fewer visitors take the time to go beyond the cities to explore the wonderful countryside of Central Italy.
If you ask any Italians they will tell you that there is no such a geographical entity as Central Italy. Well… They are right because Regions like Tuscany, Lazio, Abruzzi, Molise and Marche have little in common. Italy is a diverse country and Central Italy is as diverse as it can be.
What is common to the area is the strong presence of history, evidenced by the abundance of medieval hill towns, and every small district is full of natural and artistic surprises.
But the true surprise for the visitor will be the food, simple and abundant of local produce: Rich cheeses and grilled meats; crusty bread and hearty soups with legumes; porchetta (which is a whole pig stuffed with rosemary and fennel), and pork, and lamb, and game (boar and hare). Last but not least black truffles and Porcini mushrooms: What a treat!
