Lorenzo Fortini

I am a travel writer with over ten years of experience in the tourism industry and a strong passion for train travel across Italy and Europe. Over the years, I have combined my professional knowledge with personal travel experience, exploring cities, regions, and railway networks with a focus on slow and sustainable mobility.

For me, travelling by train is not just a way to move from one place to another, but a conscious choice that allows you to experience landscapes, cultures, and destinations at a more natural pace.

Each year, I take an average of 50 to 70 train journeys, covering more than 8,000 kilometres by rail. These trips often become opportunities to meet fellow travellers, exchange tips and stories, and discover useful insights about places to visit, where to eat, and even what to avoid (sometimes before even arriving at the destination).
