ITPC Secrets<br />
A Land for all Seasons<br />
“I’ve had the opportunity to go to almost all areas of <strong>Italy</strong>,” Kit Burns of Doorways Ltd. says,<br />
“and every time I go back I find something that is more beautiful. I got into the travel business<br />
simply because I fell in love with it. I left from Chicago where it was snowing and I went to a<br />
villa in Tuscany. I opened the window and saw the rolling hills outside…from that moment on<br />
I was hooked.”<br />
<strong>Italy</strong> offers different landscapes of unique and intense beauty – from the coexistence of sea<br />
and mountains in Abruzzo, to the dry and western look of Maremma. “Southeastern Tuscany<br />
remains my favorite,” Kit continues, “the scenery is dramatic but in a peaceful way. Looking at<br />
the hills is like looking at waves of different colors that are restful to the eye and refreshing to<br />
the spirit.”<br />
Each season has something unique to offer. <strong>Italy</strong> blossoms during the summer, beaches<br />
come alive, and you can choose between Rimni and Riccione if you are up to partying, or<br />
Sardinia and Sicily for diving and sailing. In the springtime nature bursts with fragrances and<br />
colors. The time is ideal to explore art cities or simply sit at a café reading the paper.<br />
September marks the breaking of the heat and the return from the holidays. Cities become<br />
more vibrant and the countryside blossoms with activities, from grape and olive picking to<br />
truffle and mushroom hunting. In the winter, the Alps, the Apennines, and the Dolomites<br />
become a real white wonderland for skiers.<br />
