Guides
Puglia · Emilia · wherever you are going
The guides in this network are not agencies. They are people who live where you are going, and it shows in the first five minutes — what they show you is what they pass on their way to work.

The door the whole thing is built around. A place is a photograph; a person is a reason to come back.
Artists & makers
Every town has one, and one is enough
A workshop is a business with the door open. Ten minutes inside one and you understand what the town does for a living — and why the same hands that make the souvenir also make the thing people use at home.
Cooks & markets
Augusta · Bologna · every market morning
The market cook buys at six and cooks at twelve. Half of Italian cooking is shopping, which is why the recipes actually live in the market rather than in the book.
Shepherds
The Apennines
Transhumance — walking the flocks up to the summer pastures and back down before the snow — is still practised in the Apennines, and is now recognised as heritage rather than dismissed as the past.
Fishermen
Every harbour on both coasts
The small boat still outlasts the trawler in most Italian harbours. The catch goes to the market you visited this morning, and the price you pay for it is set by the weather, not by a menu.
