I don’t know how I feel about this. I love adventuring in abandoned places, and Poggioreale is an excellent one. If they restore the town then they lose a unique place and a unique experience

One of the things I love most about spending time in Italy is the evening aperitivo.

Sometimes if we’ve had a long, leisurely lunch a drink and a snack are all we have for dinner.

My favourite places to have aperitivo are by the sea!

When in Italy, you cannot miss aperitivo! We listed for you the basic rulez for enjoying this Italian tradition at best!
