Portofino
Explore the peaceful walking paths of picture-perfect
Portofino, where Europe's jetset royals, film
stars and other glitterati come to holiday year
after year.
Café Florian
Sip a cappuccino for all it's worth (prices are
outrageous) at eighteenth-century café Florian
in Venice with its view of Piazza San Marco, the
Campanile and the incomparably exotic Basilica.
Palazzo Te
Experience the delight - for some, the shock -
of the frankly erotic frescoes decorating
Mantua's Palazzo Te; it's an unforgettable
lovers' retreat created by Renaissance artist/architect
Giulio Romano for Federico Gonzaga, a fabulously
wealthy prince, and his mistress.
Trattoria Corrieri
Tuck into the world-famous culinary masterpieces
of immaculate Parma - emphasis on five kinds of
prosciutto and real parmesan cheese - at the
memorable, but not overpriced, Trattoria
Corrieri.
Galleria dell'Accademia
In Florence's Galleria dell'Accademia, have a
personal encounter with Michelangelo's David ,
the stalwart nude hero placed in his own domed
space like some pagan god in a cult shrine.
Assisi
In Assisi, attend one of the fairly frequent
concerts in the Upper Church of the Basilica di
San Francesco, a space so beautiful and
uplifting the music truly takes on celestial
dimensions.
Abruzzi
At the very old-fashioned pensione Abruzzi in
Rome you'll open your shutters in the morning to
the imposing, timeless façade of the Pantheon,
the most perfectly preserved of all Roman
temples.
Da Michele
Sink your teeth into an authentic pizza in the
most traditional of Neapolitan pizzerias, Da
Michele in Naples, where savory pies are
fashioned according to the three most time-honored
recipes: marinara, margherita and ripieno.
Monte Solaro
Take the scenic chairlift ride up to the top of
Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island of
Capri, for stupendous views of the entire Bay of
Naples.
Mount Etna
Climb to the uppermost level of the third-century
BC Teatro Greco in Taormina, Sicily, for a view
of snow-capped Mount Etna, then let your gaze
plunge to the turquoise sea far, far below.
