With Genius Loci also travelling by car can be an adventure. Certainly in the well less known regions of especially Southern Italy there are still many wonderful places to discover, will you be met by warm hospital people and can you taste honest cuisine based on local produce and traditions. Here you still travel on often empty roads, you can make the most wonderful walks through uncontaminated nature and enjoy your cup of coffee, cappuccino or a glass of robust red wine on a peaceful, perfectly preserved medieval village square, undisturbed by the masses.
