Let\u2019s go together to discover some of the most attractive treasures of Italy, that you can visit only on foot.<\/p>\n

1. To the edge of the amalfitan coast. Furore, Salerno<\/h2>\n

Furore, Salerno, South Italy, photo by Sonja Pieper, via flickr<\/div><\/div>\n

The old\u00a0village\u00a0of fishermans<\/strong> is composed of a group of houses grabbed close to one of the walls of the fjord, to wich you can go through a serie of ladders and tangled streets.\u00a0Very singular is the \u201cen plain air\u201d art gallery composed of hundred author\u2019s wall, tags and scultures that makes Furore<\/strong> a paintful place that shows itself in this poethic way.<\/p>\n

2. A sustainable and Car-Free Alpine Pearl. Chamois, Aosta<\/h2>\n
\"Chamois,
Chamois, Aosta Valley, North Italy<\/div><\/div>\n

If you are mountain<\/strong> lovers and if you want to pass a holiday or simply go out for a trip, in the untained nature Chamois<\/strong> is the perfect location. There you can go on foot or with the cable car. Once you\u2019re arrived \u00a0around Buisson, the cable car<\/strong> will bring you at 1836 m.h, on a terrace not visible from the bottom, on wich there\u2019s the village. \u00a0It\u2019s seems to stay in another world, like a untained paradise: you won\u2019t see cars but only people that take a walk or ski during the winter. And if you may think you\u2019ll get bored, here in addiction to the walks in the woods you can mountain biking<\/strong>, paraglinding and or hand glinding.<\/p>\n

3. On a spur of tuff. Civita di Bagnoregio, Viterbo<\/h2>\n
\"Civita

If, otherwise, you\u00a0are looking for a\u00a0pictoresque village<\/strong>\u00a0rich of history, you can visit Civita di Bagnoregio<\/strong>, in\u00a0Viterbo province, Latio. It’s one of the most beautiful italian villages. If in Chamois live about 100 people, in Civita di Bagnoregio\u00a0there are more or less 6 abitants. The village\u00a0is reachable only by crossing a suggestive footbridge builded in 1965.\u00a0The progressive erosion of the hill and of the valley has shaped the \u201ccalanchi\u201d (badlands) and it goes on nowadays riscking to make disappear the entire fraction, called for this reason the town that is dying<\/em><\/strong>. Recently many people have signed a petition so that Civita became \u201cUnesco Patrimony\u201d.<\/p>\n

4. The devil\u2019s bridge. Cividale, Friuli<\/h2>\n

\"Cividale<\/p>\n

Another village not to miss in Italy is\u00a0Cividale. This place has been foundated by Julius Cesar. The longobardic area\u00a0around the town has been declared Unesco Heritage Site<\/strong>. The most famous attraction of Cividale is the Devil\u2019s Bridge<\/em><\/strong>, one of the most famous bridges of Italy. The legend tells that inhabitants had called the devil to build a long bridge in a such critical place. The price? The soul of the first \u201cpassenger\u201d.<\/p>\n

5. A medieval casket on the edge of the sea. Castelsardo, Sardinia<\/h2>\n

If, otherwise, as well as being good walkers you also have the passion for boats, immersions and you would like to be pampered by whe sea wind you have to visit the fascinating Castelsardo. This marvel of Nature \u00a0is on the Asinara Gulf whose medieval castle is perfectly preserved. And, among the small streets and the steep ladders you can reach the top of the headland, where there is the Doria\u2019s Castle. The hamlet hosts the Cathedran and the curch of Saint Mary with the famous Black Christ.<\/p>\n

6. San Gimignano and its pictoresque beauty, Siena, Tuscany<\/h2>\n
\"San
San Gimignano, ph. by Antonio Cinotti via flikr<\/div><\/div>\n

This trip among the most beautiful villages in Italy ends in San Gimignano<\/strong>, a little medieval village in Tuscany<\/strong>, within Siena<\/strong> and Florence. Located on a top of the hill, it offers many things to see. The city is very old (X century), wrapped in walls and towers<\/strong>. Inside the life runs peacefully. There are many handcrafted shops. Within the towers of San Gimignano the most important is Torre Rognosa, also known as the Clock Towers (or Tower of the Podest) that with its 52 m.h is the second highest tower and well preserved of San Gimingnano. From the point of view of the enogastronomy the place is famous for its Vernaccia<\/strong> di San Gimignano, a prestigious\u00a0white wine<\/strong>, and for its safron, a POD prouct coltivated since the Middle Age.<\/p>\n
