Overview:
Italy is famous worldwide for its
cuisine, its fashion, the luxury sports cars and motorcycles, as
well as for its beautiful coasts, lakes and mountains. It has it
all; popes, painters, polenta and political scandals. Having
been the starting point for many important worldwide artistic
and intellectual movements, it is a haven for art lovers.
Each city has something different to offer
from the dramatic, Roman ruins and beautiful basilicas in
Rome to the
canals of Venice,
Florence with its Renaissance and Baroque artifacts, and the
fashionable and fast-paced Milan. All of this comes with
fantastic food, wine and designer shopping on tap.
Whether you choose the cities, coast or
countryside, Italy is eternally dressed in a warm, dreamy light,
which is tailor-made for romance. La dolce vita indeed.
