Somewhere in Italy is a visual journey through all 20 regions of Italy—a discovery tour full of timeless beauty, fascinating landscapes, and touching stories. The book combines personal impressions, spontaneous encounters, and atmospheric experiences with handpicked tips on hidden trattorias in idyllic villages and breathtaking panoramic routes.
Emma Varila and Toni Räisälä, along with their dog Lilla, traveled across Italy for a year to experience the country in all its beauty, warmth, and glorious disorder. In the pages of this book, you'll discover where to find the best focaccia, how a lovingly organized village festival ( sagra ) celebrates community, and what hidden treasures await you beyond the beaten track.
Be inspired by Italy's changing seasons, its visual diversity, and its irresistible flavors – and experience an Italy that gets under your skin.
