In the September edition of What’s New in Italy, we explore stories of place, tradition and ingenuity across Italy and beyond. Visit Rome’s monumental Vittoriano, discover how reclaimed Murano glass is finding new artistic life, and look beyond Genoa’s harbour to the city’s historic lanes and landmarks. Travel the villa-lined Riviera del Brenta, pause for an Italian cornetto, unwind beside Lake Mergozzo, and revisit the story behind Venice’s enduring title, La Serenissima. We also cross the Strait of Messina aboard Sicily’s remarkable train-ferry and finish among the ancient landscapes of Germany’s Allgäu.
