Which Italian Towns are Situated on a Hill?

From viticultural stars to forgotten art enclaves, these urban centres have much to offer beyond the views from their scenic, high-set spots.

Whether you’re keen to explore lofty castles or verdant Piedmont vineyards, there’s a clifftop enclave to suit every taste — here are some of the best.
