Kimberly's Italy Travel

177. The Tour di Negroni

Listen Later

In this episode of our podcast, Kimberly and Tommaso offer insights that contrast with the often-misleading online travel information. They also share a few history-rich experiences in Rome, which eventually lead to the Tour di Negroni.

Key Points:

The Myth of the Perfect Itinerary:

  • Many travelers aim to visit multiple attractions in a single day, overlooking travel logistics.
  • We share our personal travel experiences and suggestions, but we are also honest about a few of the drawbacks of mass tourism.
  • Online content often paints an unrealistic picture of what can be achieved in a day.

    • Episode Highlight: “Tour di Negroni”

    • Our month-long trip to eight destinations included tasting the iconic Italian Cocktail, the Negroni
    • Throughout Italy, we sample various Negronis, each with unique styles and presentations.

      • The History of the Negroni

      • We delve into the history of the Negroni, which was invented in 1919 by Count Camillo Negroni while he was in Florence.

      Memorable Stops and Culinary Breaks

      We take a brief hiatus from our Tour di Negroni while spending 10 days in the Dolomites and Copenhagen for Christmas.

      Reflections and Future Plans

      • The journey concludes humorously, with a mention of returning four pounds lighter after our 35-day adventure.
      • Looking ahead to next week’s episode which is on the Tuscan village of Cortona.


        • Join us in this episode as we uncover the true essence of traveling through Italy, providing a realistic and enriching perspective on what to expect and enjoy.
