Italy 🇮🇹. It's hard to summarize Italy with just a few destinations, but let's give it a try. In the North, <a href="kavval://cities/039ef7ca-39ff-498a-b299-8b3fcf9e0f67" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Milan</a> remains the country's economic capital, 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 image (hello Fiat) that we often have of it. We invite you to discover the quaint Turin cafes, steeped in the 19th century... A real must ! <a href="kavval://cities/535337c0-ff10-4cc2-aed2-e0d8aeb51b85" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rome</a>, with its seven hills and wonders (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colosseum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Colosseum</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Forum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roman Forum</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pantheon</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vatican</a>...) is beyond words. <a href="kavval://cities/79e4205f-ef8d-4d4b-93bd-6abd5ef9b334" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice</a> and Naples are two seaside cities to visit, each leaving 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>) with 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 the cultural heritage, Italy has wonderful <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> in the north, the famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomites" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolomites</a> ⛰. A part of the Alps worth discovering soon! The Apennine Mountains span all of Italy from north to south, offering a variety of landscapes to 20 Italian regions, especially the famous hills of Tuscany, and pristine nature for wolves 🐺 and bears 🐻!Are you here to run the Boot? Let's turn to the race calendar in Italy then. All types of terrains and distances are on the agenda. Lovers of <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trail Running</a> and <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Road Racing</a> will find what they're looking for. Starting with the most sought-after road races in Italy, let's begin with the <a href="kavval://events/c4b30f93-4715-4c91-adc0-56ddc4ba0664" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rome Marathon</a> which, besides the <a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mythical distance</a>, also offers a race for everyone, the Fun Race, and a <a href="kavval://tags/relay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay race</a>, the Run4Rome. Since all roads also lead from Rome, the <a href="kavval://events/f1fc6280-db43-4b76-ab8e-a4a12041114a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roma-Ostia Half Marathon</a> will take you to explore Ostia, a seaside resort beloved by Romans. The <a href="kavval://events/f633c98d-b561-4423-8761-9ab85b808744" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice Marathon</a>, in turn, offers a chance to marvel at the alleyways, bridges, and many small squares of Venice. Want to get away from the cities, to breathe in forest air and pure oxygen? The <a href="kavval://events/704bab3c-4f34-47b9-9fb4-257ad871a5e1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolomiti Extreme Trail</a>, like many nature trails in Italy, qualifies for the <a href="kavval://tags/utmb-world-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB World Series</a>. Also, take a glance 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 daunting 450 km self-supported... 😨 Oh, before we forget, did you know that <a href="kavval://tags/vertical" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical races</a> originated 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're up for a challenge, specifically tackling the Rochemelon, a massif right in the heart of Piedmont.Mamma mia!
