The Grand Tour – A Hedonistic Journey – Southern Italy – Michelin

When literature shows the way

Part literary narrative, part sensory exploration, this volume in the Grand Tour series invites you to discover Southern Italy in a new light. From Rome to Sicily, inspiring itineraries, iconic sites and lesser-known gems combine to offer a deep immersion in a land of contrasts, culture and the art of living.

THE STORIES OF MICHELIN

Southern Italy is a land to be experienced as much as it is to be admired. Here, the towns seem to engage in a dialogue with the centuries, volcanoes shape the horizon, and the light transforms every landscape into a film set. True to the spirit of the Grand Tour, Michelin invites you to rediscover that primal thrill of travel – the one that blends curiosity, admiration and a taste for the unexpected.

Through Andrea Marcolongo’s writing, the reader is guided on a journey through literature and the landscape, following in the footsteps of figures who have shaped the Mediterranean spirit. Then comes the time for exploration: from Rome to the shores of Sicily, the itineraries reveal iconic sites, hidden gems and inspiring encounters. An invitation to slow down, to observe and to savour an Italy where every detour seems to tell a story.
