# BigItalia

> Bilingual (Italian/English) travel guide to Italy: 7904 municipality guides, 4057 in-depth pages on monuments, beaches and natural sites, national rankings and themed collections. Every fact is editorially verified against encyclopedic sources; figures we cannot verify are omitted rather than guessed. English texts are written natively, not machine-translated.

Content is organised geographically: /en/{region}/{province}/{municipality}/ for towns, with /things-to-do/{place}/ subpages for individual sights. Italian mirrors live under /it/ with localised slugs. Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under free licenses, with per-image credits on each page.
