    Hidden Italy with Anna - EP 3 - Traveling Italy Like a Local, Not a Tourist

    ** for English speakers Welcome back to Hidden Italy with Anna. If you’ve been following along, you already know that Italy has layers most travelers never see. You know that the Italy in guidebooks and Instagram posts is only part of the story. And you know that the version most Americans experience is often rushed, filtered, and incomplete. Today, I want to take it one step further and talk about something every traveler dreams of but rarely achieves: traveling Italy like a local, not a tourist.

    Hidden Italy with Anna - EP 2 - The Italy Most Travelers Never See

    ** for English speakers Welcome back to Hidden Italy with Anna. In the last episode, I talked about why the Italy you’re looking for isn’t in the guidebooks. Today, I want to take that idea one step further. Because there is an Italy most travelers never see. Not because it’s impossible to reach, not because it’s dangerous or remote, but because no one ever tells you to look for it. This Italy isn’t hidden behind locked doors or secret passwords. It’s hidden behind assumptions. Expectations. Habits. The way trips are usually planned from the outside. When travelers imagine Italy, a few images immediately come to mind. Iconic cities. Famous landmarks. A very specific version of “Italian life” that feels cinematic and familiar, even if you’ve never been there. That version of Italy is real, but it’s only a thin slice of a much deeper, more complex country.

    ** for English speakers Welcome to Hidden Italy with Anna. If you’re listening to this, chances are Italy has been calling you for a while. Maybe you’ve already been once. Maybe you’ve been dreaming about it for years. Or maybe you’ve booked a trip and something doesn’t quite sit right. You’ve bought the guidebooks. You’ve saved the Instagram posts. You’ve pinned the must-see places. And yet there’s this quiet feeling that the Italy you’re looking for… isn’t really in any of those places. That feeling is exactly why this podcast exists.
