Things To Do
Regions of Italy
Milano and Como are in Lombardy, Venice in Veneto, Florence in Tuscany, Rome in Lazio, Amalfi Cost and Sorrento in Campania. Then, there is the idyllic Sicily at the very bottom of the country. Anywhere you go, you will be surrounded by stunning scenery, picturesque countryside, beautiful coastline, charming villages, and iconic cities.
Milano
Milan, the capital of northern Italy’s Lombardy region, is a global capital of fashion and design. Home to the national stock exchange, it’s a financial hub also known for its high-end restaurants and shops. The Gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral and the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent, housing Leonardo da Vinci’s mural “The Last Supper,” testify to centuries of art and culture.
Navigli
Navigli is known for its twin canals and its cobblestone streets packed with contemporary art galleries and vintage stores. The neighborhood is central to Milan nightlife, with dining options ranging from pizzerias and waterside trattorias to edgy clubs on barges. Characteristic flea markets attract crowds in search of leather accessories, jewelry and antiques.
Lago di Como
Iconic lake destination known for its scenic beauty, mountain vistas & historic lakeside residences. Lake Como is a destination with a pure beauty, a marvelous nature and breath-taking views, from where you can walk, relax, discover the peace and enjoy the calm of an holiday. Como is located 45 min from Milan.
Venezia
Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.
Verona
Verona is a city in northern Italy’s Veneto region, with a medieval old town built between the meandering Adige River. It’s famous for being the setting of Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet." A 14th-century residence with a tiny balcony overlooking a courtyard is said be “Juliet’s House", (the place where we officially got engaged, as Luca proposed last December 28). Also, the Verona Arena is a huge 1st-century Roman amphitheater, which currently hosts concerts and large-scale opera performances.
Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre is a string of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline. In each of the 5 towns, colorful houses and vineyards cling to steep terraces, harbors are filled with fishing boats and trattorias turn out seafood specialties along with the Liguria region’s famous sauce, pesto. The Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail links the villages and offers sweeping sea vistas.
Firenze
Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. One of its most iconic sights is the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and a bell tower by Giotto. The Galleria dell'Accademia displays Michelangelo’s “David” sculpture. The Uffizi Gallery exhibits Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and da Vinci’s “Annunciation.”
Roma
Rome is the capital city of Italy. It is also the capital of the Lazio region, in the center of the Peninsula. The Eternal City is famous for being the home of the ancient Roman Empire, the Seven Hills, La Dolce Vita (the sweet life), the Vatican City and Three Coins in the Fountain. Rome, as a millennia-long center of power, culture, and religion, has exerted a huge influence over the world in its roughly 2800 years of existence.
Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is a 50-kilometer stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, in the Campania region. It’s a popular holiday destination, with sheer cliffs and a rugged shoreline dotted with small beaches and pastel-colored fishing villages. The coastal road between the port city of Salerno and clifftop Sorrento winds past grand villas, terraced vineyards and cliffside lemon groves.
