I recently found out my family is from northern Italy my grand father wrote it either wrong or in werid hand writing cause his English isn't great. Can someone help me figure out what it is ill try and read what it says and type it. "Buscce" "blescce" blescie" anyone know what it could be. He told me it was close to the alps and or the mountains
Just come back from an 11 month Euro/North Africa van trip. Northern Italy was unbelievable, easily one of THE highlights of the entire trip. Infact the best highlight (Morocco aside) The vibe in the north is perfect. Absolute perfection for van touring, the scenery is really really mind blowing all along the boarder from the west to the far east. I wont ever forget the experience.
I'm glad he named Udine and other Friulian cities, it'd be great to see a whole video about that 🙂
How about the whole Friuli? Welcome to Friuli! From the Alps, to the hills and castles, to the seaside and caves, the food, the churches, the local language and at least 3 other dialects, we've got everything!
Bologna????
Lake Garda!
I want to go to Bassano del Grappa!
Bassano Del Grappa is great – except for when by their crazy law it has to close down between 12.30 and 4pm. Then you see lots of tourists wandering around with their hands in their pockets, having a spent an hour or so eating, wondering what do they do next?
The answer is to drive up to the Griffone shopping centre (next to McDonalds) on the road to Rosa, or to the Emisfero shopping centre and go shopping. They are open all day long, plenty of tasty snacks to buy on the top floor of Griffone. Also, when at Griffone, you can also go across the road to the big Lidl store and check out their specials in the central aisle – it is open all day long too.
The other thing about Bassano, if you are there in August and early September, is to visit the Duomo of Bassano on Saturday mornings, where volunteer guides give a good tour (and won't accept any money for their service) . It's a magnificent church which is only used once a year. Best way to describe it's location is next to the castle wall, with a little lane way to a car park, and that car park has a little lane way adjacent the river that goes steeply down to the famous Ponte di Bassano.
Regards.
One city I highly recommend is Stressa on Lake Maggiore . Very pretty town and a lot to see. I think actually it is nicer than Como.
I never been to Italy but for some reason I have strong connection with the country somehow, I am always fascinated to know about it and I'm always tuned when I hear anything about Italy. I believe I lived there in my past life time. I am so ready to visit soon.
Genova is one of the lesser known cities of Italy: it hides its treasures and stories to the casual visitor (and to half of its citizens). Genova was one of the world's biggest and richest cities in the XVII century ("el siglo de los Genoveses") but it's history starts thousands of years before. Enormous treasures and wonderful stories are hidden in dark and crumbling palaces, old mansions of princes and kings.
One time, for example, I've found an old decadent tower (probably XVI century) hidden in a private courtyard, completely sorrounded by higher palaces 44°24'29.6"N 8°53'51.9"E . No one knows that and no tourist has ever visited that place in recent history. This is Genova. I've personally discovered hundreds of fantastic stories hidden in dark alleys and abandoned mansions; one life is not enough to visit and discover the best part of this city, but I've to saddly admit it: Genova is not for tourists…
turin is the best, but why no pictures?
Hey, Wolters, no specific videos from Turin? Have you ever been there? Thanks for all your interesting videos! 🙂
you suck
You can not seriously leave out Bologna and Parma !!!!
bologna?!?!?
Typical sospicious northern-Italian old man at 5:22 ☺
Mantova & Cremona are important too, but other smaller amazing places are Biella and Oropa's Sanctuary, Castell'Acquato, Vigoleno
Didn't you like Cortina D'Ampezzo? Some people say it's one of the most beautiful cities there.
Oh, what an idiot! I didn't mention my Mum's birthplace — Basanno del Grappa!
It was called Basanno Veneto until 1926. The name was changed in order to honour the many soldiers who died on the battlefront way up on Monte Grappa.
There! Enough history! Now for some Graspa! Cin, cin!
