Ten of the Most Beautiful Castles in Italy

Here’s our list, in photos, of the 10 prettiest castles in Italy. Fortress of San Nicola, Tremiti Islands Castle on one of Puglia's Tremiti islands This sun-soaked clifftop castle is located on the island of San Nicola di Tremiti, in the Adriatic Sea. Aragonese Castle, Ischia Castello Aragonese, near Ischia Located on a tiny volcanic island connected to the island of Ischia by a 720-foot bridge, the Castello Aragonese dates back to the 5th century B.C. Castell’Arquato, Emilia-Romagna This 8th-century fortress isn’t just a castle, but a town—just as it would have been 1,000 years ago, when castle walls surrounded the hamlet to protect it from invaders.

Scaligero Castle, Lake Garda Scaligero Castle, at Lake Garda Belfort Castle, Trentino Belfort Castle in Trentino Castles are thick on the ground in the region around Trento, but Belfort Castle may be one of the most romantic.

Circumvesuviana. How to Eat Pizza Like an Italian. You've got this great looking pie in front of you, but how do you eat it?

How to Eat Pizza Like an Italian

The waitress brings out my pizza straight from the wood oven. The smell of the bread and the wood from the oven makes me salivate. It’s thin, crispy and on an individual little plate just waiting for me to dig in. The waitress sets down a knife and a fork and says “Buon appetite!” I take one look at my plate and the excitement I initially felt about my Italian pizza quickly morphs into panic.

I look at the knife and fork, and I look around me at the Italians eating the pizza and realize I have to cut this myself; there’s no American pre-cut slices here. This is harder than you think... After many various attempts of trying to slice my pizza to appear like a local, I finally met someone that could help. In addition to solving this dilemma, I would also be able to utilize Dario to take Bethany and I to the best, local pizza joint in Naples.

Have you seen the Amalfi Coast? It will leave you breathless! This collection of photos is from my recent trip back to the Amalfi coast after 4 years of being away. I’ve also included some of my older original photos too in order to get an idea of what summer looks like there.
