]]> With more than 30 million tourists per year (at least when there isn’t a pandemic), Venice is most definitely a tourist city. This means that experiencing it like a local (and not like a tourist) might require some level of creativity. One way of upgrading your Venetian experience is by dining, or rather cooking, like a local.

Here to help you out is Italian chef and true Venetian, Enrica Rocca. Rocca’s food philosophy is fairly straightforward: when in Venice, eat like a Venetian. “I never eat in Italian restaurants outside of Italy as I enjoy discovering the local specialties,” she remarked once in an interview with Suitcase Magazine. “I also know how difficult it is to replicate any cuisine outside of its original country.”

Rocca puts her money where her mouth is. Based in Venice, she teaches the art of Italian, and more specifically Venetian, cooking to both locals and tourists. Her classes include some legwork, beginning with shopping trips to Venice’s Rialto fish and produce market, where students are invited to touch, smell, taste, and finally purchase local produce.

Buying local, as it turns out, is fundamental according to Rocca. “A cuisine is built around the local ingredients so exporting a culinary culture is really difficult,” says the Italian chef. “You can’t access the same ingredients, not everything can be exported and compromises are not always successful.” According to Rocca, most of her dishes comprise just two or three ingredients, chosen well and cooked simply.

Her cookery classes take place in Venice’s Dorsoduro district, just across the Grand Canal from San Marco, where students are invited to cook alongside the master in her very own kitchen. But worry not because Rocca also teaches online courses, for those of us who hope to achieve a better understanding of what it takes to make the perfect Italian dish.

]]> There are few places on earth with quite an idyllic feel like Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Rugged emerald coastlines feed into pearly white beaches and sapphire seas. Here are 5 places to visit if you fancy exploring this beautiful part of the world.

Amalfi

The main town in the region is Amalfi. With a distinctive Moorish feel, this medieval market town is dominated by a 9th century cathedral and winding cobbled streets.

Positano

While very tourist heavy, there is a reason the town of Positano is so popular. Towering steep houses painted every color of the rainbow look down to the shimmering sea beneath.

Sorrento

Perched over the Bay of Naples, this quaint little town is composed of a network of winding narrow streets. Home to a wide variety of shops and boutiques, it also provides easy access to Pompeii, Positano, the esteemed lemon groves, and astounding views of Mount Vesuvius.

Ravello

A hotbed of art galleries, book stores, and breath-taking scenery, Ravello is perhaps the most cultured and romantic of the destinations on this list. A calm and peaceful town, it has some of the most beautiful gardens for you to relax in.

Maiori

Maiori is a picturesque, elegant historical town with crumbling towers, imposing castles, and ancient churches. A number of artisan stores sell fresh local produce and local artwork.

]]> If you want to have a true Italian experience like in the movies, you should visit some smaller, yet beautiful cities, because Italy isn’t just Rome, Venice, Naples… it is much more than that.

Ostuni

Ostuni is a small town located just a couple of minutes from the Adriatic Sea. It is placed on a top of a hill and it has been inhabited since the Stone Age. Thanks to the beautiful white walls and the white painted architecture, it bears the name “White city.” Except the tasty Italian wine and the organic olive oil, Ostuni is most famous for its centuries-old Roman Catholic cathedral.

Manarola

A small fishing town colored in beautiful bright colors, carved into the wall of stone along the Mediterranean coast. Located in northern Italy, Manarola will fascinate you with romantic walking trails through the Italian vineyards. The name of the town originates from Latin and it refers to “large wheel” which can be seen in the town.

Alberobello

Stepping into the city of Alberobello is like stepping into a fairy tale. The Trulli houses, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage since 1996 are built from dry stone with a conical roof. Painted in white and decorated with flowers and green, these romantic houses are used as hotels, restaurants, little snack bars and snack-shops.

📷 @ournextflight 📍Alberobello ⠀ ⠀ La storia di questi edifici molto particolari è legata a un editto del Regno di Napoli che nel XV secolo sottoponeva ad un tributo ogni nuovo insediamento urbano. I conti di Conversano, proprietari del territorio su cui sorge oggi Alberobello, imposero allora ai contadini inviati in queste terre di edificare a secco, senza utilizzare malta, le loro abitazioni, in modo che esse potessero configurarsi come costruzioni precarie, di facile demolizione. Dovendo quindi utilizzare soltanto pietre, i contadini trovarono nella forma rotonda con tetto a cupola autoportante, composto di cerchi di pietre sovrapposti, la configurazione più semplice e solida. I tetti a cupola dei trulli sono abbelliti con pinnacoli decorativi, la cui forma è ispirata a elementi simbolici, mistici e religiosi. ⠀ 👍 Segui tutte le storie nella nostra pagina Facebook 📝 #ig_italia #italia #instagramitalia #ig_italia_borghiecitta #italy #alberobello
