Ten Best Secrets

7) Rieti: in Lazio--amazing bollito misto at the Calice d'Oro. Nice little town (and the geographical center of Italy, so they claim). 8) Palinuro and the Golfo di Policastro: unspoiled coastline below Salerno up to the Calabria border. And much to discover in the interior Cilento area, now a protected zone. 9) Casertavecchia: the picturesque old town above the royal palace at Caserta, near Napoli. Don't miss the church. Don't miss a meal. 10) Arezzo: While Tuscany is overrun with tourists eager for Siena, Firenze and Chiantishire, Arezzo, with Vasari's fabulous arcaded piazza, Vasari's house and a wonderful art museum (with 'Ahashuerus' Wedding Feast'--by Vasari) lies undiscovered.
