That Italy is beautiful goes without saying: I may be partial to the fairness of my own country, but I think the whole world has pretty much agreed on it, as heralded, for instance, by the large amount of UNESCO heritage sites in the country. What many may not know is that Italy, just as every country, doesn’t only have beautiful and historically relevant places to visit, but also some very curious ones, perfect to make your next holidays just that tad quirkier.

Every corner of Italy is a go-to destination for food lovers, but did you know there are plenty of museums around the country dedicated to our favorite dishes and ingredients? One of the most popular is certainly the Museum of Chocolate in Norma, a small town in Lazio.
