Travel with "The Lantern"

Italy is a place rich in history, breathtaking landscapes, and delicious traditional recipes. For this reason, we've decided to tell and celebrate them all in a single format: the Travel with “The Lantern”. Accompanied by the Chef Federico Fusca, we've crisscrossed our country in search of unique curiosities, mysteries, and artistic and culinary traditions. What we found has made us fall even more in love with our beautiful Italy.

On a seven-stage journey, we had the chance to see places of extraordinary charm: villages perched on the mountains, Countries facing the sea, Cities and metropolises with hidden and little-known corners. In short, with the true spirit of a modern-day Diogenes (the protagonist of the anecdote that gave rise to the expression to search with a fine-tooth comb), we have attempted with our Lantern to illuminate the most hidden or lesser-known parts of our Country and to highlight local spices, aromas, flavours and recipes through short Travel ideas to share with everyone.
