Our story

Made in Piedmont, made with care

ItalyGo is a free Italy trip planner created by an Italian who got tired of seeing visitors miss the country's real magic.

The Italy you won't find in mass tourism guides

Most travel apps point everyone to the same five places: Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre. They're beautiful — but they're also overcrowded, overpriced, and only show 5% of what Italy really is.

The real Italy lives in 5,000 villages, 20 regions with completely different food, dialects, landscapes, and traditions. It lives in Pitigliano's tuff cliffs in Maremma, in Sauris's German-speaking Alpine valleys, in Castelmezzano's dolomite spires in Basilicata, in Aliano's clay badlands where Carlo Levi wrote Christ Stopped at Eboli.

ItalyGo is built to bring you there.

"Born in a small village in Piedmont. Built for travelers who want the Italy that Italians love — not the Italy in postcards."

What we believe

🏘️
Authentic over famous
We prefer Pitigliano over Pisa, Sauris over Cortina. The villages with 200 residents over the cities with 200,000 tourists.
🌍
All 20 regions equal
Basilicata gets the same attention as Tuscany. Friuli the same as Lazio. The south the same as the north.
📖
Honest content
No paid placements. No fake reviews. Every "insider tip" is written by someone who knows the place personally.
🆓
Free, forever
Italy belongs to everyone. The best information about it should too.

Founder's note

ItalyGo is built by Manuel Gobino, an Italian based in Sommariva Perno, a small village in the Langhe hills of Piedmont (UNESCO since 2014, between Alba and Bra).

Manuel grew up exploring Italy by car, by train, by foot. The kind of Italy his grandparents knew: where you stop in a 30-resident village because the bakery smells of focaccia, where the local nonna at the bar tells you the village legend, where Sunday lunch lasts four hours.

That's the Italy ItalyGo wants to show.
