The Italian Art of "Fare Due Passi"

Did you know that in the Italian language, the expressions fare due passi (literally, "to take two steps") or fare quattro passi ("to take four steps") simply mean to go for a walk?

These are charming idiomatic expressions that don't have an exact literal equivalent in English, but they perfectly capture the relaxed Italian approach to taking a casual stroll.

Since I know the area very well, a perfect example I always recommend is going to fare quattro passi around the stunning lakes of Trentino. I can assure you that after a walk there, you will feel incredibly relaxed and happy.

Discovering Trentino Trentino is a province nestled in northeastern Italy. It’s an absolute paradise for those who love the mountains, enjoy outdoor sports, and, naturally, want to fare due passi amidst the region's numerous breathtaking lakes.

Some of the most beautiful lakes you can explore include:

• Lake Tovel

• Lake Molveno

• Lake Levico

• Lake Garda (Fun fact: Lake Garda is so vast that it actually spans across three different Italian regions—Trentino, Veneto, and Lombardy!)

The best part? These lakeside walks are not particularly demanding; they are gentle excursions accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level.
