If Italy has been on your bucket list (and let’s be real, how could it not be?), then this is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for. We had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Italian locals and active travel experts, Heather Dowd and Beppe Salerno, to talk all things Italy—its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, mouthwatering food, and, of course, the best way to explore it all!
Beppe, a native Italian, started his journey in active travel over two decades ago and, with the help of his wife Heather, co-founded Tourissimo, one of the top adventure travel companies in Italy. With years of expertise designing cycling and adventure tours across all 20 regions of Italy, Beppe and Heather have the inside scoop on the most authentic and unforgettable experiences Italy has to offer.
