Once we decide to travel to another country, like let say, Hong Kong or Canada, we go straight, without any question or whatsoever, to its capital city. The reason? Simple. It’s because most country’s tourist activities and sights are situated in their “capital”. But this case becomes different once we pick Italy as our destination. We don’t just spend our whole travel time in Rome; instead, we try to explore the country’s other rural cities which are equally beautiful and alive.

Don’t get us wrong; we know that Rome is a very fantastic city in itself. But Italy is forged to be a country of tourism that visiting Rome alone during the whole tour sounds like “a big waste of time”. Believe us, rural Italy is worth the 500+ Euro to explore.

If you’re a lover of medieval architecture and/or old church artifacts, the Province of Potenza is your destination. Potenza is the home to the Church of San Francisco and the “Piazza Pagano,” a byzantine icon that is considered as one of the most precious church artifacts to this date. If art and architecture aren’t your interests and you like mountain sight-seeings, Italy also has something in store for you. Go to Province of L’Aquila. The province is considered as the most mountainous in Italy. If shopping is your thing, you’ll surely enjoy the ambiance in the Province of Genoa which is known for its “street shopping” district for Turkish silks and carpets.
