Matera steals my heart on our third day of wandering the alleys and grottos and looking more closely at the ravine.
The Story
WHEELS UP: MATERA TO BARI, ITALY
After our bus ride from Matera to Bari, we found ourselves in another super fun, lovable and sociable Italian city… totally worthy of a visit.
SCRAPPY NAPLES, ITALY
A rough and tumble day leaving Bari and entering the streets of Napoli, Italy. Lightened by a visit to the MADRE.
NAPLES DAY TWO: HOW THE OTHER SIDE LIVES
We find the wealthy side of Naples and also some fun, crazy paintings by Elio Waschimps on our second day in Naples.
LAST DAY IN NAPLES: MIXED NEIGHBORHOODS
Moving on foot through Naples on a third day, we find some mixed neighborhoods, but our thoughts aren’t so mixed about the city.
TAKEN TO DULCE VITA DI ROMA
In Rome, we discovered audio walking tours by Rick Steves and rediscovered how happy a city could make us feel.
MUSEUM DAY IN ROME
Art of extremes — refined, delightfully original at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art; and abundant opulence at the Borghese Gallery.
