What’s happening in Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹 is absolutely extraordinary! Mount Etna is erupting while its summit remains covered in snow—an incredible clash of fire and ice. Here are some explorers skiing between lava flows and snowy slopes—a truly unprecedented sight! ⛷🔥❄️

💔Heartbreaking..Can you imagine Florence where Dante must have once walked in contemplation - Now a modern divine comedy: endless streams of visitors orbit the Duomo like souls in Purgatory, surrounded by the fumes of grilled bistecca Fiorentina.. #slowtravel #Italy #slowfood #travel #Florence

The good, the bad, and the unexpected in Genoa. Once the city’s red-light district, this narrow street has seen it all, from ancient Roman footsteps to modern-day life. Today, a mix of history and hustle, with shops and hidden corners that still carry a hint of its wilder days. #ViaMaddalena

Super stoked that #Genova got a mention in 20 best destinations by Lonely Planet. @dolcevia.bsky.social has definitely featured #Genoa a gazillion times. So thank you to my writers. #Italy #SlowTravel #SlowItaly

Ever thanked a waiter, cook, or restaurant owner with a handshake or heartfelt gratitude? In Italy, it's common—and so simple. Tipping can confuse, but real appreciation doesn’t have to. Sometimes, an authentic “thank you” means more than money. It's about connection, not cash. What do you think?
