Guides by Elena Marchetti.

Camogli and Boccadasse: two fishing harbours near Genoa, with pastel houses and beached boats, to experience authentic Liguria without the crush.

In the heart of Bologna, the Santo Stefano complex hides a maze of silent courtyards and cloisters just steps from the crowded porticoes.

Just steps from the Two Towers, Bologna's Ghetto weaves narrow medieval alleys between Jewish history and old fish markets.

In Pitigliano, beyond the postcard terraces, narrow lanes and hidden courtyards tell the story of an authentic life carved in stone.

At the University of Padua, the staircase of the Bo leads to the first permanent anatomical theatre in Europe, far from the crowds of the Veneto.

The Modernista cemetery of Montjuïc, in Barcelona: sculpted staircases, silent avenues and a view over the harbour that few come to see.

An hour from the overcrowded art cities, a ridge of stone villages, trails and slow cooking that almost no one seeks out.
