Last week we discovered together\u00a0Places you need to visit in Italy – Part 1<\/a>\u00a0 travelling through the northern regions. This time, let’s find out the treasures of the middle and southern part of Italy!<\/p>\n

As you may have noticed, the 10 spots that we saw in North Italy are characterised by mountain sights and lake views. While we go over the 10 most beautiful spots in the South, we’ll see more locations by the sea.<\/p>\n

11. Marmore Falls – Umbria<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Marmore Waterfalls are immersed in a natural scenery of incomparable beauty: the\u00a0<\/strong>Nera River Park. A\u00a0mass of water that falls from a height of 165 metres. For about 50 years the water of the Waterfall has been used to fuel the hydroelectric plants nearby.<\/p>\n

The legend says that a\u00a0nymph named Nera fell in love with Velino, a handsome shepherd. But Juno, jealous of this love, turned the nymph into a river and this river took her name. At this point, Velino, who didn\u2019t want to lose her, threw himself from the Marmore cliff. Then, his jump became the Marmore Falls\u2026<\/p>\n

12. Rome –\u00a0Lazio<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The capital of Italy.. not too much to add, excepting for the fact that this is an absolutely MUST-GO!<\/p>\n
