Yesterday’s post made me especially nostalgic for my trip two years ago to northern Italy. We spent most of our time in Bolzano, a small city so far north- it actually used to be part of Austria. Its certainly not the most touristy city in Italy (certainly less crowded than Venice in July) but this lent so much to the appeal. Hiking the breathtaking Dolomites, eating dinner in vineyards, and exploring the city streets… who WOULDN’T miss being there?
