Your Year in Italy<br />
Every year is marked by moments, made up of planned and<br />
unplanned life events. It's these unique moments that you fondly<br />
look back on, years down the line, and use as a marker in time.<br />
At <strong>Citalia</strong>, favourite memories are usually found in Italy’s incredible<br />
cultural festivals, which are always filled with passion, regardless<br />
of size.<br />
Memories may pop up in conversation: Remember the incredible<br />
costumes we saw during the Venice Carnevale? Or, it might be a<br />
moment where, as you tuck into a steaming dish of truffle pasta,<br />
you find yourself transported back to an exchange with a truffle<br />
hunter in Alba!<br />
Why not plan your next <strong>Citalia</strong> holiday to take in one - or even a<br />
few - of these epic regional festivals? Your Personal Travel Planner<br />
will advise you on the logistics to make it happen.<br />
Given the popularity of these events we highly recommend you<br />
book well in advance to avoid disappointment. You can then<br />
anticipate these events for months in advance, before reliving<br />
goosebump moments long into your future: I was there. I did that!<br />
