Our mission
Towns, cities, territories: Italy’s wealth is in its infinite tiny treasures. We promote the local development of these territories, starting from the stories written by our followers, to transform every emotion into tangible growth.
Discoverplaces was founded by Claudia Bettiol, with a Ph.D in sustainability.
The Team is all made up by women with Roberta Gabrielli, Chiara Rossi, Alessia Di Donna, Emanuela Moroni e Maria Vittori.
Our story

Our projects
The future in our roots, embodies the entire philosophy contained in the mission of our Discover Places. We were born with the aim of supporting the development of those territories where the roots, traditions and knowledge of the most beautiful and hidden Italy are preserved. We do this through the stories of our thousands of readers and through the advice that we are able to offer to entrepreneurs and tour operators who want to enhance towns, cities and territories with enormous hospitality potential.
