Summer in Italy has a rhythm of its own. Mornings start with coffee, afternoons are spent by the water, and dinners tend to begin a little later than planned.
The cities are lively, the beaches are full, yet there is still a sense of slowing down and taking the day as it comes.
It’s the small moments, places, and impressions that come together to create the feeling of an Italian summer. Here are a few that are inspiring us right now.
One stay
In Piemonte, surrounded by vineyards and rolling green hills, you’ll find Villa La Madonna. A small boutique hotel with a pool, Italian cuisine, and views across the landscape – the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer than planned.
Regione Madonna 21, 14058 Monastero Bormida
One Lunch
At Trattoria Anna Maria in Bologna, classic Bolognese cooking takes centre stage.
Homemade pasta and traditional dishes are served in relaxed surroundings – exactly the kind of place you’d hope to come across during a summer in Italy.
Via Belle Arti 17/A, 40126 Bologna
One movie
Call Me By Your Name takes us to a summer in Northern Italy, where long, warm days unfold between bike rides, swims, meals, and time spent in the sun.
The film captures that effortless feeling of summer, when the days begin to blend into one another and there’s no need for too much to happen.
Three titles
Three books, three different perspectives on Italy. How Italy Feels, Italy Segreta, and Sicily each tell their own story of the country – from everyday life and the smallest details to places, people, and traditions.
Books to browse at home, bring along on a trip, or save for a slow afternoon by the water. Three different ways to experience a little more of Italy – even after summer has come to an end.
