Italia...
Like a Christmas stocking, boot-shaped Italy overflows with delights.
The first impression is of antiquity. There is history here whose origin is lost in time: entire cities remain like marvellous stage sets to tell us about life as it was in the distant past.
Italy’s natural wonders are timeless.
Visitors return again and again to the lakes of Lombardy, the great Alpine valleys, the Dolomite Mountains, the Italian Rivieras and the fabled islands of Sicily and Sardinia.Travellers can plan their visits to include some of the country’s many festivals, attending opera, concerts, ballets and plays, perhaps even taking part in the annual spectacular Carnival of Venice.
For art lovers, Italy is a moveable feast: They can enjoy Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture, paintings and sculptures from the great masters who found their inspiration and patronage in Italy, no matter where they were born.
Today, Italians are creating modern objects of desire – elegant cars, exciting fashion garments and exquisite footwear. Young chefs and winemakers are producing fine foods and world-class wines, and all are imbued with the charm of the country that gave them form.
