Italy
Italy is a land of art, wine and exquisite food. This is where the Renaissance was born and where its brightest jewels still glow. From the sunny Southern slopes of the Alps to the lush orange groves of Sicily to the great cities of Milan, Florence, Venice and Rome, Italy embodies “La Dolce Vita”. Italian hospitality is legendary; as warm and traditional as a glass of wine. The scenery is unequaled, the weather is glorious and the world’s greatest art treasures are always in season.
