TRAVEL
Secret Italia!
by Madeline Tersigni
Ahhh Italia‌ one of the most beautiful countries in the entire world! If you are consider-
ing booking a flight to Italy, you are probably thinking about all of the wonderful experiences you will have when you get there: Tasting the authentic Italian cuisine, being captivated by the incredible art and history, wandering around the quaint back streets, and roaming the warm countryside. Believe me, you will encounter all of this on vacation in Italy. However, one thing you may forget to consider is the number of tourists. Great moments can be ruined by the persistent flashing of cameras or the pushing and shoving of a hundred people trying to get inside a monument or museum all at once. You will pack into public transportation like sardines, cabs will be more expensive, and at a good restaurant, not a vacant table will be found. It is difficult, but tourists are a part of traveling, and they are inevitable - right? Well, maybe, when it comes to the larger cities. But, if you are hoping to get away from stress during your vacation, here are five underrated places in Italy that are gorgeous and tourist free!
