C.he Italy is a beautiful land it is a fact that has now been ascertained by all. Including, indeed perhaps even more strongly, foreigners who not only love the beautiful country, but they consider it one of the most beautiful places in the whole world. To give a further guarantee of this beauty, the American magazine The Travel, specializing in travel, which he drafted the ranking of the 10 most beautiful villages in Italy.
The most beautiful villages in Italy
And then starting from the tenth place, the magazine puts the town of Tremezzolocated on the western bank of the Lake Como. The small town of only 1,300 inhabitants is described as picturesque and with a magnificent charm, so much so that the writer he wonders why it is so undervalued. Its view of the mountains and the sparkling lake makes Tremezzo one of the Italian cities that they must absolutely be included in the travel itineraries.
The scepter goes to Tivoli, 27 kilometers from Rome, a beautiful Roman village that houses the beautiful Villa d’Este, Villa Adriana and the Villa Gregoriana Park
The inevitable: Umbria, Veneto and Tuscany
Position number 9: we pass in Umbria in the medieval village of Monteleone d’Orvieto, in the province of Terni. Perched on a hill overlooking the Valdichiana, the view over the green heart of Italy is enchanting. But not only, because it is also a center of art and culture very interesting, between the remains of fortified walls and the red of the typical handcrafted bricks.
Eighth in the standings Borghetto sul Mincio, the ancient village of the mills in Valeggio, in the province of Verona. The landscape that appears straight out of a painting is truly one of a kind.
Seventh position: we move to Tuscany, a region that certainly cannot be missed. The village is Porto Ercole, seaside resort of the Argentario, in the province of Grosseto. The historic center is discovered slowly: it is gathered around the Spanish Fortress from which the sea view is excellent.
The beautiful Matera
Sesta Matera, the capital of Basilicata. The well-known Città dei Sassi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a magnificent page of history. The two natural amphitheaters, the Sasso Caveoso and the Sasso Barisano are spectacular.
Fifth position for Acireale, municipality in the province of Catania, in the beautiful Sicily. Located at the foot of Mount Etna, it is a hydrothermal center for a truly wellness holiday. Without forgetting to taste the local pastry
In fourth position Bassano In Teverina, a village in Lazio in the province of Viterbo. Perched on a tuff spur, it dominates the Tiber Valley and a fabulous view that sweeps up to nearby Umbria.
Bronze, silver and …
Bronze medal for Tropea, a splendid village on the Costa degli Dei. One of the most photographed places is the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola, on a rock that is reflected in the always crystal clear sea.
The silver goes to a Valle d’Aosta village of a hundred inhabitants, Bard. Surrounded by the mountains, it is one of the best preserved medieval sites in the region. From here we also leave for beautiful excursions.
On the podium Tivoli
The winner is… Tivoli, a few kilometers from Rome. The village is home to the beautiful Villa d’Este, Villa Adriana and the Park of Villa Gregoriana. But also authentic masterpieces of art and nature.
A place has been excluded from the list, a place that is practically always at the top of any list that describes the most beautiful places in Italy: the Amalfi Coast. In this case, however, it is not an oversight. It was not included because his victory would have been a foregone conclusion.
