Italian summer is where landscapes bloom with art

Italian summer is an invitation to dive into colour, into ever-changing light, into landscapes that seem designed to be enriched by art.

When the heat wraps the peninsula in its golden glow, when the hum of cicadas becomes the season’s soundtrack, when even the air seems to whisper “freedom”, it’s not just the search for a cool breeze that sets things in motion—it’s the craving for inspiration, for a spark, for something unexpected.
A walk under still trees and open skies is always welcome—but how much better when that walk is lit up by a flash of creativity, a work of art that transforms the journey into something more.

It’s the perfect moment to jump into your EV and let Plenitude On The Road guide you. With a silent engine that lets nature do the talking, and charging stops that become opportunities for detours, every journey turns into a chance to discover more.

Art-filled villages: when murals bring landscapes to life

All across Italy, small towns have been transformed by artists into living, breathing canvases. Streets, houses, and alleyways become pages of an illustrated book, where every mural tells a story—of memory, tradition, legends, or bold, contemporary expression.

Take Dozza, in Emilia-Romagna, 35 km from Bologna, where the medieval town centre is regularly enriched by the Biennale del Muro Dipinto—and just a short drive away, you’ll find a Plenitude On The Road charging point.
Or Sant’Angelo di Roccalvecce, in the province of Viterbo, where fairy-tale murals have earned it the name Village of Stories.
Or Diamante, on Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast, where brushstrokes have mapped out a joyful, irreverent, and ever-changing vision of Italy.

And don’t forget the islands. In Orgosolo, Sardinia, murals speak of passion, history and resistance. In Borgo Parrini, just outside Palermo, colourful façades, mosaics and hand-painted quotes create a Sicilian homage to Antoni Gaudí—earning it the nickname Little Barcelona.

These towns don’t just wear colour—they celebrate it. With street art festivals, concerts, and cultural events that turn art into a reason to explore, and the landscape into a stage. And right nearby—always within about 15 km—you’ll find a charging station (Plenitude or third-party), clearly displayed in the Plenitude On The Road app map. Just a tap away.
