There’s nothing quite like our Bel Paese. Right? Every summer it’s the same: as soon as summer arrives, the exodus of international celebrities is unstoppable. Their destination? Italy. These are unintentional advertisements for our peninsula that just make us want to enjoy it even more. Among those who’ve enjoyed Italy the most this year, we can’t help but start with Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, who even chose Sicily as the base for their wedding before heading from the south to the center in search of the most dazzling wonders Italy has to offer. Mission accomplished, we’d say, judging by the photos and posts the couple has shared. And this is by no means a one-off in this literally hot summer. In fact, it’s more than just hot.
I wonder if Jennifer Lopez felt the heat when she arrived in Taormina, Italy, as a special guest at Dolce&Gabbana’s Haute Couture show. After performing for the Italian fashion house a few weeks ago, the singer and actress returned to Italy once again. She traveled to Rome and Siena, accompanied by her children Emme and Max Muniz. Her journey eventually took her to Milan, as shown in a post by Angelo Crespi, general manager of Grande Brera, who documented JLo’s recent visit to Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” “in the sacred silence of The Last Supper.”
Is that it? Absolutely not. Because Lopez captured herself on video right in Venice—more precisely, aboard one of those iconic gondolas. And who can blame her?
And we can’t really blame Justin and Hailey Bieber, as rumors about them have been multiplying rapidly in recent weeks. Are they in Italy? No. Are they in Sicily? Come on.

But yes, they were in Sicily—apparently for the Google Camp near Sciacca, at the Verdura Resort. That commitment didn’t stop him from enjoying other wonders. Justin was spotted aboard a yacht in Palermo, then in Panarea—first alone inside a local grocery store, then with his wife Hailey at a café, with the entrepreneur holding a small coffee in her hands.

Is that it? Absolutely not. Erling Haaland is another of this summer’s stars, especially at the World Cup with Norway. First in Taormina, again as a guest of Dolce&Gabbana, then in Fasano, in Puglia, for the wedding of his teammate Donnarumma, and finally in Sardinia, where he was spotted in Porto Cervo, before heading to the French Riviera. How would he put it? Nice. Exactly.

Orlando Bloom, on the other hand, chose to enjoy his vacation in Forte dei Marmi, in the sweet company of Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, after attending the charity event organized by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation. Another high-profile couple, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, also chose to stay in Tuscany. More specifically, they were in Florence to celebrate her birthday, after having also visited Bologna together.
Since Gwyneth Paltrow is now a familiar face in Italy, as evidenced by her first TikTok video, we couldn’t help but mention one of the summer’s most talked-about couples: Kylian Mbappé and Ester Expósito, who are also on the Costa Smeralda after the grueling World Cup, where France was eliminated in the semifinals. After numerous sightings, their kiss in the middle of the Italian sea went viral around the world.

And to top it all off, the newlyweds, Charles and Alexandra Leclerc, were spotted in Porto Rotondo, confirming Sardinia as a favorite destination for celebrities from around the world. Much like Capri—an undisputed gem—which George and Amal Clooney enjoyed a few weeks ago in each other’s company.
