Why Italy now?
The answer to this question is simple...and compelling:
Golden, sun-drenched beaches..windswept plains...tidy town squares boasting fountains carved hundreds of years ago...cafes with tables set in the shade of umbrellas...cosmopolitan cities filled with theaters, museums, art and music...
Old World Europe is rich with history and saturated with beauty. And it's not just the surroundings that beckon...
It's the food and drink as well—just-caught sea food grilled with lemon, garlic, and olive oil...fresh cheeses made from sheep and goat milk...puff pastries and custard tarts.
And then there are the wines... Italy's fortified wines in a vast range of reds and whites to suit any taste.
You'll find Old World traditions in the lively festivals...and in the music , and the dance of the invigorating Tarantella...
Yet, for all the stimulating distractions, the day-to-day pace of life in this part of the world is slow enough to savor it all...
Especially Italy's hospitality!
