Country framework
Italy
Italy is set up as a region-led country framework. No regional pages are published yet; this page defines the structure so future coverage can grow without becoming a generic Italy directory.
Editorial architecture
Italy should be built region by region.
The country is too dense for one flat list. The right structure is regional: each region can later hold city guides, food notes, stays, beaches, countryside routes, museums, neighborhoods and practical dossiers.
Until a region has real material, it stays as structure only. This keeps the atlas premium and prevents empty destination pages.
Regional index

Future content model
How Italy should expand.
Choose one region
Start with a region that has real field material, not the most obvious SEO volume.
Create area clusters
For example: cities, coast, countryside, mountains, food, stays and viewpoints.
Publish only useful dossiers
Each place needs photos, access, price, timing, notes, tags and a clear reason to exist.
