My travel Italy

In the Silence of the Nuraghi
The “Costa Smeralda” - Alghero - Sassari - Oristano - Cagliari - Nuoro (Sardinia)

This excursion leads us to Sardinia, a land of ancient civilizations which have left behind their Tomb of the Giants, their Domus de Janas (Houses of the Spirits) and the Nuraghi towers whose origins are lost in the mists of antiquity, a land of rocky coasts and wild, untamed mountains, whose heritage has been jealously preserved in its traditions and folklore.

Sicily’s prime geographic location in the centre of the Mediterranean Basin has meant that, over time, settlers and conquerors from the medieval Normans, Aragonese Spanish, Moorish North Africans, ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, and Romans have come and, except for the latter, mostly, gone. Today, Sicily’s Roman ruins are rivaled only by those in Rome, and lovers of Roman archaeology will find a treasure trove of sites to explore.
To get an idea of the diversity of Sicily in ancient times and particularly the range of artifacts from the Greek and Roman colonizations of the island, visit the Museo Archeologico Regionale in Palermo. One of Italy’s greatest archaeological museums, it is filled with rare finds that put the multiple foreign occupations in pers Read the rest of this entry »

I Love Italian Wine and Food – The Calabria Region

Calabria is the toe of the Italian boot. It is located in the southwest corner of Italy, with 500 miles of coastline on the Ionian, Mediterranean, and Tyrrhenian Seas. Its total population is about 2 million. The countryside is mountainous, and prone to earthquakes. For centuries peasants worked very hard to eke out a living from its poor soil. During the last century over a million people left Calabria to seek a better life in Northern or Central Italy or overseas.

Historically, the region’s first name was Italia, probably from the Italic tribes that inhabited the area. Over time, Calabria has belonged to the Greeks, the Romans, and the Byzantines. Others who lived in the area include Armenians, Bulgarians, Catalans, Goths, Spaniards, Normans, and Bourbons. Talk about multiculturalism.

While Calabria has been poor, its agricultural production is important. For example, it is the source of about 25% of Italian olive oil. Other agricultural products include vegetables, especially eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, artichokes, asparagus, and mushrooms. Its citrus fruits and figs are special. There is plenty of wheat for pasta, country-style bread, focaccia, and pizza. The main meat is pork, and some Calabrian Read the rest of this entry »

There is one region of Italy that we have touched on before where property is still affordable, the weather and scenery are among the best in Italy and where until very recently indeed only local Italian interest was centred mainly because of accessibility problems.  The region in question is called Abruzzo and it truly does offer you the chance to afford both a home that you can reside or holiday in as well as the option to buy an investment property too.

As stated, one of the main reasons that Abruzzo in Southern Italy had remained so cheap in terms of its property prices is that it didn’t have direct or cheap air access.  Now it has cheap and regular international flights into nearby Pescara and it also has fast rail links to Rome and the rest of Europe - and so slowly but surly i Read the rest of this entry »

A highly rewarding place for those who prefer to seek and explore beyond the Hollywood hyped Italy, but Calabria offers a lot to the tourists.
