As the Worldwide Brand Ambassador for Valentino, Carlos Souza spends a lot of time traveling — and is a connoisseur of the most-desirable locales in Italy. This month, a new book from Assouline, #Carlos’s Places, gives readers an inside look at Souza’s favorite destinations, including Capri, Positano, Amalfi, Venice, and, of course, Rome. From where to find the best Altamura bread in Rome (Panella) to the secrets of Italian tans (dark-gray sand beaches), Souza’s travel diary is full of expert tips (the best discount store is Mas; the best time to go to the Amalfi coast is from May to July) and vibrant photographs. Click through the slideshow for a peek at some of Souza’s most cherished Italian spots.
