Watch out for tourist traps! Go to Portofino just to take some pictures and have a walk, then run away as quickly as possible! Spend some more time in Rapallo and Camogli, enjoy some real "Focaccia di Recco": a paperthin flatbread filled with stracchino cheese....have it heated until it becomes almost liquid...as challenging to eat as wonderfully tasty ;-)
Go see Cinque Terre in Liguria (Monterosso, Manarola, Vernazza, Corniglia, Riomaggiore), and more or less the whole of Tuscany and Umbria if you love ancient towns, medieval architecture and churches (and you have a year or two to spend away home LOL)....not to mention the insanely delicious food and wine! Avoid like pest restaurans that offer "Lasagna" or "Spaghetti" (and/or have huge billboards at the entrance)...real local food is a whole another thing at a whole another level....
Lucca, Pistoia, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Castiglione di Garfagnana, the underwater village of Vagli, Fiumalbo, Roccapelago (go see the mummies!!!!), Nozzano Castello, the "Fosso Bianco" ("the White Well") @ Bagni San Filippo, Bagno Vignoni, Radicofani, San Quirico d'Orcia, Castiglione d'Orcia, Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Monteriggioni, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Arezzo, Anghiari, Citerna, Elba Island (Capoliveri, Marciana Alta, Marina di Campo,...), Perugia, Assisi, the Marmore waterfalls, Montefalco, Vallo di Nera, the ruins of Cosa, Talamone, Porto Santo Stefano and Mount Argentario, the big Plain of Castelluccio di Norcia, Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio, Pitigliano, Sorano, Sovana, Saturnia (Casacte del Mulino: think of a free bathing Mammoth-Hot-Springs-area thing) Parco dei Mostri at Bomarzo, Viterbo, Narni ("The Dying City") (well the last ones are a bit more to the south, in Lazio), a bit further to the east there are Gradara and the Frasassi Caves (amazing!), etc. etc....
There is a gazillion, tiny, unknown towns and villages that will leave you speechless.
I take advantage of having a family house in the village of Popiglio, halfway between Lucca and Pistoia, to go visiting the area every once in a while, and I keep lookiong for new places and every time I am left amazed at how much beauty lies hidden behind every corner of every road.
Next on my list there is Sicily!

I am an Air Traffic Control Operator of the Area Control Center in Milan, Italy. The picture shows a sequence of landing aircrafts in Malpensa airport.
Thanks so much for the information! Good to know about Portifino. I would definitely do going to eat my way across the country so thank you as well for thee info on food. It will be another two years before my wife and I could go as we will have to make up a trip we missed this year due to COVID-19. Should give me plenty of time to reseach some of the things you have suggested. Grazie!
Those photos of Italy are amazing.
Not quite as exotic, from last Saturday. Father-daughter dance, tough day but good day as a dad!

I'm back. Sorry, I love to share with you how beautiful my country is, in spite of the people who rule it and inhabit it :-D
The rock of Soncino:
Mount Monviso...to me it's Tolkien's "Mount Doom" LOL
Sunset at Lake Viverone

Ok, the last one for today.
From where I took this picture (Bielmonte), when the air is really clear, you can see the whole region of Piedmont and part of Lombardy. You can see both the cities of Turin (right end) and Milan (left end), about 150 kms apart, and beyond those mountains in the background there is Ligurian Sea, another 200+ kms away. If you look to the right you can spot again Mount Monviso, 200 kms from where I was standing.
