Italian Summer Travel Specials Emphasize Car Food Safety and Travel Photography

Quattroruote’s August 2026 issue, titled “Q Estate”, explores the Italian summer road trip experience, focusing on food, music and safety. The magazine features an interview with chef Cesare Battisti, a retrospective on music listened to in cars over the past 70 years, and a scientific study conducted with the University of Milano‑Bicocca under Professor Simone Guglielmetti. The study tested six common foods placed in three vehicle zones and found the trunk to be the least suitable for preservation, while the front‑passenger footwell offered the coolest conditions. Recommendations include using a thermal bag for perishable items.

In a parallel feature, Il Fotografo dedicates its latest issue to travel photography and “travel storytelling”. Canon contributes insights from Allegra Ridolfi, highlighting two compact video‑oriented devices – the PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 – and two mirrorless cameras – the EOS R8 and a full‑frame model – designed for lightweight, high‑quality image and video capture while on the move.
