Amalfi Coast - A lovely greenish-blue sea, a landscape of hills falling off sharply to the sea and picturesque towns and villages: this is a birds eye-view description of the Amalfi Coast, Italy's most famous coastline. Anyone visiting this area is actually struck by the vivid colors of nature as much as by the lively bustle of the people living there. Amalfi, Sorrento, Ravello and Positano only add to the bewitching charm of a countryside that is known throughout the world for its particular beauty.

Pompeii - Just imagine: its late in the evening, people are either going to sleep or doing their ordinary chores at home and all of a sudden there is a terrible noise, ashes and gas invade streets and houses; in a matter of minutes the whole city is dead. People have been caught unprepared and their bodies will remain forever in exactly their position at that time. This is what happened in Pompeii about 2000 years ago and now you can see casts that have been made of both men and animals, in addition to whole streets with buildings particularly well preserved.

Rome - Rome, Caput Mundi, or the Eternal City! You pick the name you wish; they all fit perfectly this wonderful city. It dates back nearly 3000 years, but if you tour Rome you will be surprise to see how well antiquity mergers with modern living. The Colosseum and the Forum sit next to the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are located close to the main thoroughfares of the city and St. Peters Basilica is in the vicinity of a railway station, while the Pantheon is only at a very short distance from the present Senate.

Florence - If you speak of Florence your mind immediately associates its name with history and elegant design. This is because this city as it is today is the direct result of the Renaissance, which was born and developed here. Walking around Piazza della Signoria you cannot help admiring the wonderful buildings enclosing it and the monuments and statues decorating it. Close by are two museums - Galleria dell'Accademia and Uffizi - which have worldwide renown for the quality and quantity of their exhibits.

Chianti Region - How many times have you wondered where in Italy that lovely wine called Chianti came from? A tour of this area will obviously answer your question... and more. The countryside will unfold before your eyes to reveal whole lines of perfectly trained vines and neat farmhouses scattered about the fields. The wine tasting function will not only allow you to savour that excellent wine, but also to gain an insight into the processing methods adopted for its production.

Pisa - Piazza dei Miracoli, or Miracle Square, is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Once you are there, you realize why. In addition to the world-known Leaning Tower, three other marvelous buildings share the privilege of looking on to the square. They each represent a stage in mans life: the Baptistery, birth, the Cathedral, maturity, the Cemetery, death. The whole picture is extremely impressive and leaves visitors absolutely stunned for its impeccable layout and design.

Siena - Siena and its famous Palio, or Horse Race, are one and the same thing in peoples minds. Its true, the Palio is so important for Siena that the people from the various contrade, or wards, support their horses and jockeys to the extent that sometimes a wife and a husband will have disputes over their reciprocal representatives. However, there is much more to Siena than just the Palio. Its layout and the style of its buildings are typically Medieval. So, if you wish to see a city that is as close as possible to what it was like centuries ago, simply go to Siena.

Venice - Hordes of tourists pour into Venice all the time to visit this unique city. Its canals constantly crossed by picturesque gondolas are a pole of attraction for everyone since they provide the unusual view of houses lapped directly by water and of boats going past day and night. The architecture of the city is necessarily particular, but the style of the buildings is always elegant and in harmony with the environment. Take, for instance, St. Mark's Basilica and the Clock-tower and Bell-tower nearby.

Quod cum postea, surreptum audivisset, requiri furem et ad supplicium duci iussit.
Non eadem fuit Octavii erga Brutum moderatio:is enim avulsum Bruti caput Romam misit,ut C.Caesaris statue subiceretur.
porcia,cum victu et interemptum virum cognovisset,quia ferum non dabatur,ardentes ore carbones hausit,virilem patris exitum mulier imitata novo mortis genere.

thanks a lot
