Upon awakening, the sun kisses the surface of everything it touches, chasing the clouds away and paving the way for a promising day. Enjoy a cup of espresso with your sweetheart on the veranda; tis the season for romance and the perfect place for it. Whether you choose a trolley tour, bus or even a train, grab hold of your sense of adventure, or of course you can plan a special day on your own.
The first place we come to is the beautiful city of Rome. Rome has so many enchantments, including the Sistine Chapel and its famous ceilings, The Vatican, and The Colosseum with its grand architecture. The famous Renaissance era was born here, yet Rome has also been affected deeply by war and suffering throughout the centuries, including Nazi influence and World War II. St Peter Square, The Pantheon and the Arch of Constantine are also sure to take your breath away.
Florence is a close second to Rome in Italy tours, for it contains the largest Franciscan church in Italy. This church is unique because it is home to the tombs and memoirs of Dante, as well as Michelangelo Buonarotti. In fact his finest pieces are found here, as well as the Galleria dell' Academia, which has many of the most known paintings and sculptures, including the unforgettable David piece he crafted. If you happen to be an art lover, make reservations at the Galleria degli Uffizi, which showcases hundreds of Renaissance art, tapestries and paintings.
Just south of Rome lying on the coast is Naples, weaved richly in ancient history. Greek and Roman antiquities, discoveries of Pompeii, and gems and mosaics are all housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples here.
All the fullness of the beauty of plants and flowers of many types are birthed in The Orto Botanico, which began in 1545, and is the most aged botanical garden anywhere. Via San Biagio has all of the shopping anyone could possibly want, with home crafted items and keepsakes, and also useful products from the locals here.
As night draws to a close, we finally arrive in Venice. Venice is simply over a hundred bodies of land all connected with many canals and bridges, yet it has so much mystique and beauty. A vaporetti will float along the surface of the water, carrying you to the heart of Venice in Saint Mark Square and Basilica. Live music fills the air from every direction, and the people are enjoying the evening with laughter and dancing. At Rialto Bridge, open a special bottle of Italian wine to savor along with the local seafood delicacies.
Italy vacations could not possibly be fully enjoyed in one trip, so plan several, or lengthen your stay. Take lots of pictures where allowed, enjoy the breezy beautiful weather, and find your place in its rich history. Italy forever!
