ranked 5/5

In June 2013 we went on a Mediterranean cruise departing from Venice. Before boarding the cruise ship we had arrived early into Venice and took a circular road trip around the northern part of Italy starting from Treviso just outside Venice and travelling in a counter-clockwise route through Vicenza, Verona, Milan, Parma, Bologna and Ferrara. This journey gave us a real flavour of Italy from small towns to the larger cities such as Milan, with interesting historical sites, wonderful architecture and of course a tremendous selection of great Italian food and wine. The starting point of Treviso was a real surprise with canals similar to those seen in Venice. Our next stop was a visit to the outstanding La Rotonda mansion house in Vicenza. Verona, home of Romeo & Juliet, was a great city to visit with interesting streets and some great food and wine. The large city of Milan offered a different viewpoint with magnificent churches, the interesting Sforzesco Castle and shopping at the stunning Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Being familiar with the famous parma ham it was a joy to visit the town of Parma where we spent a long time in a wonderful delicatessen shop sampling and buying parma ham, cheeses and olive oil. Bologna, our next stop, also had a food related name and again was a great city to walk around along the unique porticos. Our last stop before returning to our starting point was Ferrara, a really colourful place with the wonderful small cobbled streets of Via delle Volte and of course some more wonderful food and Italian wine to try. This book gives a brief photographic journey through northern Italy and with the many images, the text descriptions and maps this will hopefully give you inspiration to plan your own trip to this fascinating area of Italy.

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.

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.

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).
