Just enable #JavaScript and WebGL 2 for this riveting, real-time #escapism. 🙄 Because, who needs actual travel when you've got virtual stowaways and pixelated clouds? 😂🌥️

  11. The only #travel I can do right now is #VirtualTravel. Last summer, I made my way through parts of eastern and southern Calabria. Here's some highlights from my visit to Rossano, home to the famous Rossano Gospels manuscript.

  13. Catanzaro is the city of the three V's. One of those is the city's patron, San Vitaliano. He was the bishop of Capua but his relics were transferred to Catanzaro in 1122. A chapel in the cathedral holds this silver reliquary. His feast day is July 16.

  14. Another museum in #Catanzaro worth visiting is the Museo del Rock which celebrates 20th century music. Over 10,000 vinyl records, posters, and magazines from a private collection are on display. And lots of live music! #VirtualTravel

  15. Why My Live Streams Are Part of Adventure Adjacent (Not a Detour)

    Too cold to wrench, too busy to travel. Here's why live streams (trucking, hunting, etc.) still count as Adventure Adjacent, and how they keep curiosity warm.

  17. 🚀 Behold, the "Google Maps" for 2,000-year-old roads you never knew you needed! 🌍 Now you can virtually traverse the vast expanse of ancient Rome, because who wouldn't want to plan their next vacation based on a dusty empire's byways? 😂 Just remember, folks, Itinere's detailed maps may not lead you to the nearest pizza place—unless you're into crusty bread from the 1st century. 🏛️🍕

  18. Let's start at Catanzaro's cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. It has two sets of entrances, on the facade and on the north face. Pope Callixtus II consecrated it in 1122, and more than 800 years later, another pope visited--John Paul II in 1984. It's currently closed for restorations.

  20. Welcome to Catanzaro! Capital of the region of #Calabria and provincial capital. It's known as the city of the three V's -- vento (wind), velluto (velvet), and Vitaliano (the city's patron saint). It's also called the city between the two seas: Ionian and Tyrrhenian.
