This is the flagship of travel channels by which many of this genre should take note. Well written, thoughtfully narrated, beautifully filmed with accompanying music chosen sensitively for cultural significance thereby enhancing the overall pleasure of viewing and learning. So often travel channels are tiresome affairs with awful, disquieting muzak, overwrought narration delivered in a language passed off as English but to me manifests as an ordeal of mispronunciation, poor vocabulary and lack of care. Thank you Mr. Callan, through your superior production my travel plans are helped significantly.

Thank you so much for one of the nicest comments I ever got. It is good to know that my work is appreciated that way, which inspires me to do all the more. I am also disgusted with most so-called travel videos, which are usually nothing more than endless, boring pictures without narration. I work hard at choosing good places, shooting a lot and well, editing carefully, doing the research, finding legal music, narrating, then mixing it all together. It is gratifying to hear your appreciation, thank you again.

Many thanks for your kind comment, which stimulates me to keep doing my best work and make lots and lots of new movies about fascinating places.
Great job, very informative, and just what I’m looking for to avoid the social media masses. Only wish you told us which places to base to do day trips from
Great tour! We enjoyed day tripping out of Bologna to Ravenna, Ferrara and Verona in October 2022. There are so many lovely less touristed towns in Italy.

yes, Bologna is a perfect home base for seeing many fine towns. Glad you liked it.
❤ thankyou.. we loved following your tour, and will be checking out a few of those places very soon.
Awesome job. Bravo! While I was enjoying each highlight, and following the map, I was also thinking of all the places in between that could easily make several other top 20 lists. One could easily make a documentary in just about any village or city in Italy. Marostica, Asolo, Aosta, Ferrara, Ravenna, Rapallo, Treviso, Cortina, are just the first that pop into my mind. Thoroughly appreciated your vlog.

Dear Dennis, Great video! There is so much to see in Italy that is difficult to summarize in one o several videos. I have visited some of the cities on your list but in another manner: By car! Yes, I know sounds very difficult and has drawbacks (lots of tickets if you don't know the ZTL) but in my case, it allowed me and my family to visit the places more freely and merge with locals at the same time. Buonagiornata!

ok, you caught a 3-second clip out of place, a quick marina shot. Considering there are about 500 clips in the video, it's accurate otherwise until you find another blip. Thanks.

This trip sounds amazing but how many days would it take to see everything?

Genoa would be my top choice, conveniently along the coast from Nice. Also, Mantua, one hour beyond Cremona. See more details in my webpage about the routing townsofeurope.com/Italy/north/top-20-towns.html

So, shops and resturants, is that it? There is so much more to N Italy.

If you would actually watch the video you would see that my work is about walking tours, pedestrian streets, historic sites, the beach, marinas, trains, boat rides, piazzas, pizzas, museums, churches, quality of life, history, trams, metros, castles, history, and much more. In the entire 40 minutes of the video, maybe 2 minutes mention specific resturants (sic) and no shops. What are you talking about?
Grazie per aver mostrato città meno conosciute, ma non si possono definire Firenze e Venezia "città turistiche", sono patrimonio dell'umanità e se qualcuno le visita perché "così fan tutti" è meglio se resta a casa😅 (Firenze non è nord Italia ma Centro). Un piccolo suggerimento a chi visita le nostre città, piccole o grandi, è di entrare nei teatri: sono tutti splendidi, di trovano ovunque e per me rappresentano più di ogni altra cosa la cultura italiana.

translation: Thanks for showing lesser-known cities, but Florence and Venice cannot be defined as "tourist cities", they are a world heritage site and if someone visits them because "everyone does so" it is better if they stay at home😅 (Florence is not northern Italy but Center). A small suggestion to those who visit our cities, small or large, is to enter the theatres: they are all splendid, they can be found everywhere and for me they represent Italian culture more than anything else.
Mettere Savona( a mio parere bruttina) e non Venezia Ferrara Torino Milano.. mi sembra azzardato Comunque bel video ,bravo

Avete la mania del lago di Como, ma il lago di Garda è molto più bello e mediterraneo nella parte sud. Il lago di Como è bello ma triste. E famoso solo perché è comodo all'aeroporto della Malpensa.
