Benvenuto in questa prima puntata del mio nuovo podcast, qui voglio parlarti di uno dei Paesi più belli al mondo: l’Italia. Ci sono centinaia di guide sui viaggi in Italia ma la maggior parte parlano sempre degli stessi luoghi e non approfondiscono mai i luoghi veramente caratteristici, io tenterò di farti conoscere ogni angolo delle città che ti racconterò. La prima è dedicata alla mia città e a tutti i suoi monumenti, luoghi artistici e d'intrattenimento che ti offre, e sono davvero tanti!!
