Northern Italy has a diverse geography due to its two coastal regions, and the mountainous region of the Alps and Apennines. Parts of the region are packed full with dramatic mountain landscapes, whilst other areas particularly on the eastern coast are flat on entering the Adriatic Sea. This part of Italy is actually the most economically productive and has a host of important manufacturing regions that help give it one of the highest GDPs per capita in Europe.

Collio: Fine Wines and Foods from Italy's North-East, the Collio hills in Friuli Venezia Giulia The Collio hills in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in north-eastern Italy, produce some of the greatest Italian white wines, yet are little known outside Italy. They are also the home of a unique cuisine, on the cusp between the Mediterranean and Central Europe; and close to some of the greatest names in Italian food, such as San Daniele ham and Illy coffee. This book is the first to be dedicated to this area, which Carla Capalbo explores in depth, taking in not only the wines and their individual producers, but also restaurants, wine bars, food producers and places to stay. Her stunning photographs evoke the magical atmosphere of the Collio, and show many of the unusual aspects of the terroir and the techniques of wine and food production, as well as portraits of the great artisans who work here.

Piedmont is a land of mountains. It is surrounded on three sides by the Alps, with the highest peaks and largest glaciers in Italy. Monviso, the Piedmont side of Monte Rosa and the other spectacular mountains in the region, create incredibly beautiful landscapes, and ski resorts abound: Via Lattea and Sestriere welcome winter sports enthusiasts with their state-of-the-art facilities.

Liguria Liguria is the classic introduction to Italy for travellers journeying overland through France. There’s an unexpected change as you cross the border: the Italian Riviera, as Liguria’s commercially developed strip of coast is known, has more variety of landscape and architecture than its French counterpart, and is generally less frenetic. And if you want to escape the crowds, the mountains, draped with terraced vineyards and olive groves and speckled with pretty old villages, offer respite from the standard format of beach, beach and more beach.

Lombardia Lombardy is the glitz and glamour of Italy – a combination of the fashion-forward Milanesi and the luxury lakeside villas of Como, sprinkled with a bit of countryside charm. Being Italy’s most modern and industrialized region and an area of diverse topographical landscapes, Lombardy boasts many things to do for both the laidback and adventurous female traveler..

Trentino Alto AdigeThe region’s hyphenated name is a product of its diverse culture that is divided into two sub areas, Trentino and Alto Adige. The Trentino area is located at the southern tip of the Trentino-Alto Adige region and is more Italian in its culture and traditions than the sub area of Alto Adige. The latter area is named as such because its northern section is home to the Adige River, and although located in Italy, much of its tradition has German roots due to border influence. Because of the differences that make each sub area unique, the region simply combined their names to define itself as a whole while retaining its diversity. Even today, the people of this region speak not only Italian, but also German and Latin..

Veneto Virtually every acre of the Veneto bears the imprint of Venetian rule – Venice dominated this region for centuries and is still the capital of the province today. In Belluno, right under the crags of the Dolomites, the style of the buildings declares the town’s former allegiance, while the Lion of St Mark looks over the market square of Verona, on the Veneto’s western edge. On the flatlands of the Po basin (the southern border of the region) and on farming estates all over the Veneto, the elegant villas of the Venetian nobility are still standing.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia is odd, even in its name (Friuli is a corruption of the ancient name for modern-day Cividale, Foro Iulii “Forum of Julius”, while Venezia Giulia, “Julian Venetia”, also references the area’s abiding association with Caesar). Bordering Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east, it has always been a major bone of contention among rival powers. Today, Slavic, Germanic and Italian populations all call it home and are fiercely proud of their local language, Friulano (a Romance language related to Swiss Romansch and Ladin). The area’s landscapes are equally varied, with one-half Alps, about one-third limestone plateaux (carso) and the rest alluvial and gravel plains sloping down to the Adriatic.

Emilia Romagma LSweeping north from the Apennines to the fertile Po valley, Emilia-Romagna boasts some of Italy’s most hospitable people, some of its most productive land, some of its fastest vehicles (Ferrari, Ducati, Maserati and Lamborghini call Emilia-Romagna home) and most soul-satisfying food. Since antiquity, the verdant Po lowlands have sown enough agricultural riches to feed a nation and finance an unending production line of lavish products: luxury cars, regal palazzi (mansions), Romanesque churches, prosperous towns and a gigantic operatic legacy (Verdi and Pavarotti, no less).
