Italy
“Europe’s kinky over-the-knee boot has it all: popes, painters,
polenta, paramours, parmesan, poets, political puerility and
potentates. Its three millennia of history, culture and cuisine
seduce just about everyone. In Italy you can visit Roman ruins,
gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny medieval hill towns, go
skiing in the Alps, explore the canals of Venice and see more
beautiful churches than you imagined could exist in one country.
Naturally you can also indulge in the more elementary pleasures
of enjoying good food and wine, improving your wardrobe
and seeking out la dolce vita.
In the Capital Rome it’s hard to say what you’ll find most breathtaking
about the eternal city - the arrogant opulence of the
Vatican, the timelessness of the Forum, the top speed of a Fiat
Bambino or the bill for your caffè latte. In the Center of
Tuscany, the cultural and historical impact of Florence is
overwhelming. Close up, however, the city is one of Italy’s
most atmospheric and pleasant: the shop-lined Ponte
Vecchio, the trademark Duomo, the gem-filled Uffizi
Gallery and the Medici Chapels.
More in the north, Milan is the busy metropolis, the country’s
economic engine room and also the world’s design
capital, which rivals Paris as a leading fashion centre.
Shopping, whether of the window variety or - for those
who can afford it - the real thing, is of an almost religious
significance. 800 km more south the complete diference in
Naples which is raucous, anarchic, deafening, crumbling
and grubby. It’s also a lot of fun and, Naples gave us
pizza, and for that, we are all pilgrims. Queen of the
Adriatic, captivating city of canals and palaces, Venice is
simply unique. Love her or loathe her, life without her is
utterly unthinkable...”
