Italy in brief
Italy is all about Renaissance charm, Venetian gondolas and Neapolitan pizzas. At its heart, Rome offers ancient remains, while Tuscany unveils rolling landscapes dotted with cypress trees. The north seduces with its majestic lakes, while the south transports with its sunny coasts. Each corner reveals a different facet, a new flavour. But everywhere, the sweet perfume of la dolce vita.
