I visited Rome and other tourist spots in Italy, but a highlight was exploring the village restored by a billionaire fashion designer

• During a recent trip to Italy, I visited Solomeo, a small village in the Province of Perugia.
• The fairytale-like village was restored by billionaire fashion designer Brunello Cucinelli.
• I loved exploring the 12th-century town, which feels pristine but honors the past.

On a recent trip to Rome, I left the major tourist city behind to spend an afternoon in Solomeo, a small village in the Province of Perugia.

The stunning village...
