Enjoy these Italy photos, all taken by members of the Solo Travel Society and readers of Solo Traveler while exploring the country.

One day in Ravenna is just enough to cover the highlights of this not-to-be-missed, small Italian city. If you have time, enjoy it over multiple days.

Two different styles of solo travel in Italy: one traveler went as part of a group tour, one explored independently. Here they share their stories.

Like a lot of travelers, I have seen many, many churches in Europe. In Sicily, I found my favorite: the Cathedral of Syracuse.

A trip to learn about the ancient sites of Rome and Greece in Sicily. A trip to relax at a resort. On this tour we had it all.

A pizza and gelato cooking class in Rome reminded me of what I had already learned about Italians and cooking: simple is better.

The Trastevere food tour is a delicious way to explore about Rome. Take the tour with me (in photos) and learn about my favorite discoveries.

The magical meeting of Sofia and Antonio in Italy’s Umbrian hills stands out as one of my best travel days ever. It was an experience for all my senses.

Tasting olive oil in Lombardy is an absolute pleasure. Tasting fresh olives – not so much! A tour of Frantoio Montecroce provides a delicious lesson.

The setting: a grand palazzo in the Italian countryside of Lombardy. The drink: the delicately bubbly Franciacorta of Berlucchi. If this is a dream, please don’t wake me!

Forlimpopoli, just an hour’s train ride from Bologna, is a beautiful town anchored by a center devoted to the food and wine of Italy.

A flight delay and a missed train left me with little time. But a lucky meeting with another traveler resulted in this beautiful one hour tour of Bologna.

Oh, Italy. Finally fulfilling a solo travel dream to visit Italy, I begin sharing some of my favorite photos from Milan and the Lombardy Region. Sigh.
