About this listen
In Italy, cappuccino is a morning drink that locals rarely order after about eleven, and coffee is drunk standing at the bar in a couple of minutes. Most visitors never learn the unwritten rules. Hugo Reinhardt will make sure you do.
Explore Italy Like a Local is a travel guide written for the ear. The famous sights get tips on beating the crowds. The rest of the book goes where the tour buses don't: hill towns, back roads, island ferries and the long tables in the piazza where a whole village sits down to eat together.
The journey runs the full length of the country, from the Dolomites and the Alpine lakes in the north to Puglia, Sicily and Sardinia in the south. Along the way, you'll meet the regions most visitors never reach, such as Le Marche, Friuli and Basilicata, and you'll see the big cities from the side streets where people actually live. You'll learn how to:
• Climb Rome's hill of broken pots and eat in Testaccio, where Romans eat
• Cross the Grand Canal by traghetto for a couple of euros, and find the near-empty island of Torcello
• Soak in the open-air hot springs of Saturnia and walk the Etruscan sunken roads of the Maremma
• Walk between mountain huts in the Dolomites and find the quiet lakes most visitors skip
• Eat your way down the food road of Bologna, Modena and Parma
• Swap the crowded Cinque Terre trains for the coastal paths and fishing villages nearby
• Watch the pasta ladies of Bari and dance the pizzica in the Salento
• Go under Naples, walk the Path of the Gods, and wander the markets of Palermo and the vineyards of Etna
• Find the stone towers of Sardinia and the volcanic islands off the coast of Sicily
You'll also find practical advice for every trip: when to go and what each season brings, how to use the trains and avoid the traffic zones that fine drivers months later, how to choose a good gelateria, and how to find a farm stay or a village food festival, where you'll eat with Italians at Italian prices.
