It is difficult – if not impossible – to limit a list of things to do in Italy to 100, and even more difficult to put them in order of descending significance or entertainment value: home to Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, with islands as diverse as dour Sicily and African-influenced Pantelleria and cultures as far apart as Renaissance Venice and the prehistoric Trulli in Alberobello, Italy is a vibrant and colorful hotch-potch, a land of stark and passionately defended contrasts.

Let’s continue the count…

32. Napoli Sotterranea (Naples)

For a fascinating and unique glimpse into 2.400 years of Naple`s past history, Napoli Sotterranea (Naples underground) is unbeatable. Visitors are invited to descend 136 steps (35 metres) into the bowels of the earth beneath the city and view ancient Greek excavations (4th century BC), air raid shelters from WWII and an underground garden with flourishing plants, amongst other things. The tour takes around an hour, the path is smooth and even and visitors are given a candle to light their way.

The entrance to Napoli Sotterranea is on the Piazza San Gaetano, just over 15 minutes from Naples central railway station by car or metro (line M1, exit Piazza Dante).

33. Kite Festival Cervia

Cervia is a town on the northeast Adriatic coast of Italy in the Emilia Romagna region, less than 30km south of the city of Ravenna. It is known for its 10km of beach, its butterfly house (the largest in Italy) and its ancient salt marsh and salt museum, as well as for its festivals and events, of which by far the most famous is the international kite festival held annually from the end of April to the beginning of May. Offering swimming, boating and windsurfing as well as historical ruins and mosaics, Cervia is an easy and relaxed venue for the whole family, hospitable, well-organized and child-friendly.

Cervia can be accessed in under 30 minutes from Ravenna by car, or around 50 minutes by train. Ravenna has its own airport.

34. Civita di Bagnoregio- The Dying Town (Orvieto)

For anyone looking for a unique holiday experience well off the beaten track, Civita di Bagnoregio (120 km north of Rome) is not to be missed. Originally founded by the Etruscans over 2.500 years ago on a plateau of tuff, the town is being slowly destroyed and its buildings falling off the edge of the cliff due to erosion; currently only around 12 people live there, with maybe 100 in the summer. The site is inaccessible by car and the streets of Civita are car-free; visitors who wish to see Civita must walk from Bagnoregio new town to the near-ghost village over a footbridge (around 20 minutes and steep).

Buses run from Orvieto (around 45 minutes) or Viterbo (30 minutes) to Bagnoregio.
