Lago di Fiastra, a Hidden Gem in Central Italy

The Marche region nestling between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Coast in central Italy is  blissfully unkown to those making their way along the Italian tourist trail. At the heart of the region lies Sibillini National Park and Lago di Fiastra is the reward to the few fortunate enough to find themselves there!

Macerata, Italy

One of my favourite facebook pages at the moment is Macerata Photoemotion.  Admittedly I see the photos through nostalgic eyes but it's well worth a look if you want a little taste of Le Marche and Central Italy. (https://www.facebook.com/MacerataPhotoemotion)

Coffee With A View - Rome Italy

Four and a half hours on the Marche-Roma bus, starting at 5am, meant a coffee with a view was needed before work... Hopped on the metro from the bus stop and upon emerging from the station this was the view.  Grabbed a €1 shot of caffeine and parked myself near the tour-touting Gladiators and enjoyed the vista.  Ancient Rome; Instagramed!
