The big hitters like magical Venice and the rolling hills of Tuscany are justifiably popular with visitors. But Italy is so rich in art, architecture, food and enchanting countryside that there are wonders to discover wherever you veer off the tourist trail. Whether it’s a little-visited hilltop town, a family restaurant loved by locals or an up-and-coming gallery, we’d love to hear about your favourite unsung finds in Italy.
If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
