Jeffrey Bracchitta is an avid golfer. Though he has traveled to
courses on Kiawah Island and throughout other parts of the Carolinas,
Jeffrey Bracchitta still enjoys playing locally at Bethpage State Park.
The
Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York, will host
the Barclays 2016 golf tournament between August 23 and August 28. The
Black Course last hosted the tournament in 2012. The top 125 players in
the FedExCup point race will be invited to the course, regarded by many
as the finest accomplishment of internationally revered designer A.W.
Tillinghast.
Jason Day won the Barclays 2015, his first FedExCup
tournament win. He finished his final round with an eight-under-par
score of 62. His total score for the tournament, held at the Plainfield
Country Club in Edison, New Jersey, was 19 strokes under par. The
Barclays drew record attendance in 2015, and organizers plan to continue
this trend moving forward.

Jeffrey Bracchitta, a banking professional with over 14 years of
experience at one of the world’s largest banks, enjoys traveling around
the world. One of his favorite countries to visit is Italy. Jeffrey
Bracchitta has visited Italy twice, spending time in several cities
along the coast and in both the northern and southern areas of the
country.
Many people are familiar with some of Italy’s larger
cities, such as Rome and Venice. However, the country has several
lesser-known locations that offer just as interesting experiences.
Following are just a few of Italy’s best, little-known destinations:
-
Treviso: located on the Sile River, Treviso is an ancient walled city
only 30-minutes away from Venice. Despite its well-known annual wine
crawl and local rugby team, the city continues to be overlooked by many
tourists.
- Fiumicino: a small town along Italy’s coast,
Fiumicino is most often visited by Italians in the know. It is a great
place for tourists looking to practice Italian and is also popular for
its warm weather, small crowds, and fishing port.
- Baiardo:
reaching this small town requires a 45-minute hike from San Remo, but
tourists who complete the endeavor are greeted with fresh air and
gorgeous panoramic views. Baiardo is home to just a few hundred people,
some of whom have never left the mountain.
- Liguria: offering a
wide range of activities from truffle-hunting to soaking in thermal
pools, the Liguria region is located in northwest Italy. The area
features protected forests and Italian Riviera towns along with plenty
of castles, campsites, and five-star resorts.
