Italy 🇮🇹. Always a special destination for the French. The history of our nations has crossed paths, we share the love for the table and relaxation... Rome for the French 🇫🇷 is equivalent to Paris for the Italian, an enduring love story! It's hard to sum up Italy in a few destinations, but you have to start somewhere. In the North, <a href="kavval://cities/039ef7ca-39ff-498a-b299-8b3fcf9e0f67" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Milan</a> remains the economic capital of the country while <a href="kavval://cities/f8c66ce3-cc5d-40fe-b6b7-d20a165de6dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Turin</a> is a charming city, far from the industrial city image (hello Fiat) we often have of it. We invite you to discover the little Turin cafes, preserving their 19th-century style... A real must! Rome, with its 7 hills and wonders (<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colis%C3%A9e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Colosseum</a>, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_Romain_(Rome)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forum</a>, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panth%C3%A9on_(Rome)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pantheon</a>, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vatican</a>...) needs no introduction. <a href="kavval://cities/79e4205f-ef8d-4d4b-93bd-6abd5ef9b334" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice</a> and Naples are two <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seaside</a> cities to visit, each of which will leave an indelible mark in your memory. We could mention Lecce and its colors, <a href="kavval://cities/ed1c703e-a946-416d-bfdc-1f64a668ba71" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Palermo</a> (<a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/5cb48d92-405a-49e3-84a0-a2967ee1bfc7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sicily</a>) and its contrasts... And we almost forgot the open-air museum that is <a href="kavval://cities/23249229-d192-4774-a060-97fbbb82224d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Florence</a> or the beautiful <a href="kavval://cities/e35201ea-2f9c-4a05-9a5e-b6d6700c5c33" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Verona</a>, the city of Romeo and Juliet! Each region has its culinary specialties. We recommend the "carciofi alla giudia" in Rome (go for it with your eyes closed) and the best pizza on the globe da Michele in Naples. Beyond cultural heritage, Italy boasts wonderful <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> in the north, the famous <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomites" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolomites</a> ⛰. A part of the <a href="kavval://places/4b4ff98f-072f-413a-9bfe-fd7f26f8052a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alps</a> to discover quickly! The Apennine Mountains span all of Italy from north to south, offering a variety of landscapes to the 20 Italian regions, especially the famous Tuscan hills, and preserved nature for wolves 🐺 and bears 🐻! <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sea</a>, <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountain</a>, culinary passions, <a href="kavval://tags/monuments" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">heritage</a>: didn't we tell you that Italy and France are twins?! Are you here to run the boot? Then let's look at the race calendar in Italy. All types of courses and distances are on the agenda. Lovers of <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail</a> and <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">road running</a> will find what they seek. Among the most sought-after road races in Italy, let's start with the <a href="kavval://events/c4b30f93-4715-4c91-adc0-56ddc4ba0664" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rome Marathon</a> which, in addition to the <a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mythical distance</a>, also offers a course suitable for all audiences, the Fun Race, and a <a href="kavval://tags/relay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay race</a>, the Run4Rome. Because all roads also start from Rome, the <a href="kavval://events/f1fc6280-db43-4b76-ab8e-a4a12041114a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rome-Ostia Half Marathon</a> will take you to discover Ostia, a seaside resort favored by Romans. The <a href="kavval://events/f633c98d-b561-4423-8761-9ab85b808744" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice Marathon</a> will offer you the chance to admire the alleys, bridges, and numerous small squares of Venice. Do you want to venture out of the cities, immerse yourself in <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a> and breathe pure oxygen? The <a href="kavval://events/704bab3c-4f34-47b9-9fb4-257ad871a5e1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolomiti Extreme Trail</a>, like many <a href="kavval://tags/off-road" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nature</a> races in Italy, counts towards the <a href="kavval://tags/utmb-world-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB World Series</a>. We also encourage you to take a distant look at the <a href="kavval://events/83cd4a3e-8a6c-46bf-95b8-2ab9df85e096" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tor X</a> program, unless you feel ready to tackle its various courses, including a modest 450 km in autonomy... 😨 Oh, before we forget, did you know that <a href="kavval://tags/vertical" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical races</a> were born in Italy? No? Well, sign up for the <a href="kavval://events/84972127-4cfb-4b65-8786-c7cf4b8247b7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bei K3</a> if you want to tackle the elevation, specifically the Rochemelon, located in the heart of Piedmont. Mamma mia! Life is about choices, they said...
