A Scotsman who wanders about Italy? When I get half a chance.
For more than 30 years, summer holidays and weekend escapes have regularly drawn me back to il Bel Paese. The history, culture, regional food, wine and people are all part of the attraction, but there’s always something new to discover.
I’ve wandered through much of Italy, although Tuscany — and the historic city of Lucca in particular — keeps calling me back.
Bonnie Viaggio is a collection of travel stories, photographs, discoveries and occasional mishaps from my journeys around Italy, with the odd diversion elsewhere, including my spectacularly beautiful home city of Edinburgh.
