As one local put it, "just try not to love every moment spent in Italy." This country has it all, from beautiful landscapes complete with mountains, beaches and a cypress and olive tree-filled countryside, to vibrant, modern cities with energies all their own. Between Rome, Florence, Milan and Venice, all you can do is hope to squeeze it all in: the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Boboli Gardens, the Duomo - the list is endless.
Visit the Pisa's leaning tower, wander through ancient Pompeii, tour vineyards, see beautiful ruins at every turn, marvel at Renaissance art, explore the canals of Venice, gaze at beautiful churches, in short, live 'la dolce vita' complete with good food and good wine. This is a country with three millennia of history, culture and cuisine and the only real regret you'll have is when it comes time to say Ciao.
