Are you sitting in your office already looking at grey skies with a hot beverage in your hands? Is winter already visible on the horizon? Don’t worry! Rain doesn’t really fit in Italy until the end of the year! So don’t hesitate – catch that last summer vibe and enjoy the colourful Italian sunny beaches!
