Fiore, where restaurants move their tables outdoors to catch the summer breeze.

The Romance of Venice
In Venice everything floats. Not only
the gondolas, launches, barges and vaporettos on the Grand Canal, but also the buildings and
the people float. One floats luxuriously with such a sense of freedom, never
tormented by traffic or even disturbed by the sound of a horn. It is this
"floatingness" which is the essential
quality of Venice The most romantic of all cities Incredible
Gothic artwork and magnificent Renaissance architecture Wonderful shopping for glass and lace. A minimum 3 nights here to enjoy the city.
Explore the spendors
of Southern Italy
Rustic Italian Hospitality,
striking natural beauty
Southern Italy is a magnificent crossroads
of natural beauty, ancient history, and chic seaside villages. Capri and the Amalfi Coast are a favorite, and their
fabled beauty is not exaggerated. Pompeii still startles with its
frescoes and perfectly preserved daily Roman life, while Naples is the energetic hub for all
of southern Italy.
Set aside 4-5 days for a
visit to this destination.
Other towns and villages to put on your
“must see” list:
Cinque Terre
The stupendous folded coastline of the Cinque Terre ("Five Lands")
stretches between the pleasant beach resort of Lonto
and the major port of La Spezia. The area is named for five tiny villages (Monterosso, Vernazza,
Corniglia, Manarola
and Riomaggiore) wedged into a series of coves
between sheer cliffs; their comparative remoteness, and the dramatic nature of
their position on a stunning coastline, make them the principal scenic
highlight of the whole Riviera.
Lucca
The fortified city of
Lucca is set amongst wine and olive groves in the green
hills of Tuscany. It has been beautifully preserved and boasts tall
houses and palazzos laid out on a Roman grid, handsome fortifications, pretty
squares and Romanesque churches.
Verona
Verona, is the town immortalized by William Shakespeare
in "Romeo and Juliet". Verona boasts Casa di Guilietta, Juliet’s house, where one can look upon
the balcony or look down upon what Juliet herself might have seen.
Como
With its breathtaking
view, Como is a jewel-like oasis of tranquillity,
a magical combination of lush Mediterranean foliage and snowy alpine peaks.
Milan
Milan is among the most progressive Italian cities. Yet Milan also offers the Duomo,
the mightiest Gothic building ever created, with a capacity of 40,000! Milan is also home to the glass-topped Galleria - the
world’s first shopping mall, the famed La Scala Opera
House and da Vinci’s restored "Last Supper" fresco
Orvieto
This charming
medieval hilltown is perched on a high plateau, overlooking
a breathtaking valley. It offers some extraordinary examples of Romanesque
Gothic art, including one of Italy?s greatest cathedrals with its stunning, sumptuous
