Italy unusual places to visit

Civita di Bagnoregio is an ancient, medieval town with a terrible fate – it’s slowly dropping off the edge of a cliff as the rock erodes. Once a thriving village, there is now no way for the Italian authorities to protect it from its sad decline.

Turin is a beautiful Italian city with famous landmarks like the Palazzo Reale and the Mole Antonelliana, but if you’re looking for unusual or alternative things to do in Turin, try the Fiat Lingotto Factory. This car factory has now closed down but it was where they made Fiat cars from 1923-1982.

We all know about the ruins of Pompeii, the town in Italy which was buried under lava by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, but you’ve probably never heard of its sister, Herculaneum.

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene… there’s a very famous building that has become something of a tourist point of interest in Italy.

If you’re looking for obscure or quirky places to go in Italy, you’ve come to the right place. The Catacombe dei Cappuccini are a complex of tunnels and shrines in Palermo, Sicily that are decorated entirely with mummified corpses.
