Italy Facts, Facts about Italy
This page used to have a list of expat blogs in Italy. While at some point the expat blogging community in Italy was pretty strong and cohesive and I knew everyone on the list, recently I started to feel that maintaining this list was too much work as well as it wasn’t leading to making any new connections or friendships, just resulting in a long list of links. I’m not really interested in maintaining a list of links. If you’re an expat blogger in Italy and want to say hi and exchange some ideas, contact me – I’m always happy to meet new people.

Five Favorite Places to Hike in Italy
by Jessica | September 20th, 2010 Those who know me well know that while I appreciate the great outdoors, I’m not exactly a nature girl. I like a reasonable hike, but after an hour or so I’d rather be sipping wine and staring at something pretty than continuing a trek. Italy is, however, full of amazing places to go hiking – so rather than rely on my (limited) hiking experience in the country, I turned to my friend Madeline Jhawar , a former hiking guide, for her five favorite hikes in Italy !
When I take groups of travelers to Italy, my little heart pitter-pats when I hear, “I would never have known about this!” So, when Kimba at Artist-at-Large tagged me in Tripbase’s Best-Kept Secret carniva l, I was thrilled.

Eleven Etiquette Mistakes (Not) to Make at an Italian Meal - Revealed Rome
When it comes to food, Italians love etiquette. It doesn't matter if you're at a fine-dining establishment with jacketed waiters or chowing down on pizza at a plastic table: There are some things that will always get you dirty looks. Or snide comments from the servers. (Yes, the people you're paying for for the food. That's a subject for a whole other day...) Below, eleven ways to make servers into enemies and annoy neighboring Italians -- all while doing the seemingly-simple task of consuming food.How to Find Cheap Accommodation in Italy
If you’re trying to save money while you travel in Italy, finding budget accommodation is the key. Since hotels in Italy, especially cities like Florence, Rome and Venice, can easily cost €150 a night, that can be tough! But, of course, we’re here to help.
Located on the Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is a rugged coastline, made up of “The Five Lands” or the five villages: Vernazza, Corniglia, Monterosso al Mare, Riomaggiore, and Manarola. The Cinque Terre is so appealing because it does not display any modern developments in its architecture. Many of the residents over the centuries have built terraces on the cliffs that overlook the sea from the coast. The villages are only connected by paths (specifically the Blue Path of Cinque Terre that connects all five villages and is a famous hiking trail), boats, or trains—nope, no cars. You definitely will not need to spend more money renting a car if you choose to visit the Cinque Terre; you can just focus on these almost mythical lands themselves.

We’ve heard story upon story of tourists being ripped off at cafes or restaurants in Italy. We’ve even experienced it ourselves. And let us tell you: Unfortunately, nothing makes you leave even a great meal with a sour taste in your mouth like knowing you paid way too much for that tiny little coffee (8 euros? You must be kidding!)… or wondering if you did (when the waiter pointedly said “Service is not included,” were you really supposed to leave that 20% tip?).Italian
