An Italian Summer

Molly in Italy: Everything I bookmarked, wandered into, and fell in love with!

Over the few weeks I spent in Italy, I wandered sun-soaked streets with no real agenda, lingered over meals that somehow always turned into three-hour conversations, ducked into tiny shops I still think about, and collected more inspiration than my suitcase could ever hold. Every beautiful doorway, linen tablecloth, perfectly imperfect villa, and morning espresso found its way into the ever-growing folder in my mind labeled someday.

This guide is everything I wish a friend would send before booking a flight—the places worth lingering a little longer, the GLUTEN-FREE Italian meals I’ll be dreaming about until I’m back, the little moments that don’t always make it onto Instagram, and the details that made this trip unforgettable.

If you’re planning your own Italian adventure (or simply looking for a little escape from your inbox), I hope this feels like you’re pulling up a chair beside me. Pour yourself something sparkling, settle in, and let’s wander Italy together!
