Italy, beyond the postcard
Italy is not what you think. And that is very, very good news.
A weekly podcast for travellers who want to understand what they are really choosing — beyond stereotypes, checklists and the version of Italy designed to be consumed quickly.

Episode 0 introduces Eva, the choices that shaped Slow Italy Travel and the point of view behind this podcast.
Why does the Italy people imagine so often differ from the Italy they actually experience? Eva explains how a lifetime among travellers, art, cities, food and wine shaped a different way to design a journey.
What you’ll hear
Stories, context and practical choices from someone who lives the places she talks about.
The city beyond the Colosseum: neighbourhoods, rituals, layers and the details most visitors miss.
History and masterpieces explained through people, power, desire and the world that produced them.
What Italians eat and drink — and why landscape, history and identity always sit at the table.
Umbria, Lazio, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and places worth more than a hurried day trip.
When to slow down, what to skip and how to build a journey that feels personal rather than performed.
Honest answers about famous attractions, expensive promises and the difference between private and personal.
The point of view
Your host
Eva Polino is a licensed guide, art historian and critic, sommelier and private travel designer based in Rome. She has worked with travellers since she was eighteen, turning specialist knowledge into conversations that make places feel alive.
This is not a podcast about collecting destinations. It is about learning to notice — and making better choices before, during and after a journey.
Go deeper
Every episode can continue beyond the audio. Eva’s Notes are concise, practical companions designed to help you remember, explore and make informed choices.
