		<description><![CDATA[There is absolutely no telling what you will find in the small towns of Italy. In the tiny village of Castelnuovo di Farfa, north of Rome in Lazio, there is the most sophisticated celebration of olive oil and olive trees in Italy. Along with the usual displays of centuries-old oil presses and containers, there is&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/singing-olive-tree/">(more)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sicily often conjures up images of beaches and suntans, but once had a great reputation for ice. Gathering snow and compacting it into ice has been done for centuries, and Sicily’s high mountains provided ice not only for its hot coastal cities, but was shipped as far as Tunisia and Malta.

		<description><![CDATA[These incredible gardens and ruins are what remains of the ancient city of Ninfa, now long gone. It got its name from a small temple dedicated to the nymphs of the headwaters of the aptly-named Nymphaeus River. Situated along the old Via Pedemontana, (lit. &#8220;Foot-of-the-mountain Road&#8221;), Ninfa held a strategic position in Ancient Rome and&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/ninfa/">(more)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You’d be forgiven for thinking that a torre (tower) should be tall. Traveling around on the delightful back roads north of Modica, it’s easy to get confused by the unsigned roads. Should you ask a farmer for directions, you might be told to turn left at the torre, and off you go looking for something&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/torri-modica/">(more)</a>]]></description>

The skeleton of a rusty ladder leads to the center of the tank. The 10-meter climb was far less scary than the mystifying eeriness of the vacant and seemingly bottomless water tank.

		<description><![CDATA[The 52-km bike tour starts at Capranica in the hills and ends at Civitavecchia on the coast. The majority of the trail is an abandoned railway with the rails removed. There are eleven tunnels along the way, several of which are completely deprived of light, one of them as long as a mile.

It became Roman during the 1st c. BC, but continued to use its pre-Roman name, Tegeste. From 1382 until 1918 Trieste was the most important port of the Hapsburg Monarchy.&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/queen-north/">(more)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Goethe had such a lofty mind that he only considered the wonderful immanent aspects of the pictured bridge in his “Italian Journey”. Great, good for him. My head, instead, simply exploded. The Ponte delle Torri is an elegant rough-hewn stone bridge and aqueduct that connects Spoleto to the big hill behind it. It is 263&#8230; <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/places/ponte-delle-torri/">(more)</a>]]></description>
