Travel to Italy

Phanteon

Commissioned by Marcus Agrippa, restored by Domitian, and subsequently rebuilt by Hadrian (who added the dome) before being turned into a church in the early 7th century by Pope Boniface IV. The building's sole source of light is the opening at the dome's apex (the oculus); according to popular legend, this formed the base for the bronze pinecone that is now in the Vatican's 'Pigna' courtyard, where it is used as a fountain. Many famous Italians are buried in the Pantheon, including Renaissance painter Raphael and King Vittorio Emanuele I. A must  if you are in Rome, you can't miss this marvelous spectacle.

Vaticani Musei

Don't let the ticket prices scare you away, this is a one life time oportunity and you must see it if you are in Rome. (the cheaper way is to become a priest but hey you are paying with your life :P) Of course you are not allowed to bring any food in, flash cameras or videos allowed, you can buy a video souvenir in the gift shop. It is a heavenly experience and it will give you the chance to admire the work of the great Michael Angelo , be prepared tyo get lost inside the Holy shrine of the Roman Catholic Empire, you will love it.

Fontana di Trevi

Visited the Fontana di Trevi during the day in the morning early November. Beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. A must see if visiting Roma. Did the traditional coin-tossing. The area wasn't too crowded so we got to sit in front of it and take great pictures. Only cons were the annoying vendors. Very unpolite, will get in your way, don't care if they ruin your experience or your picture. Just be firm and eventually they'll find another tourist to pester.

Siena

Siena (often mispelled "Sienna") may be the best-preserved medieval city in Italy, thanks to its conquest by Florence nearly 500 years ago. While the Florentines were busy launching the Renaissance, the Senese played the role of country cousins--and as a result, Siena (or at least the walled portion of the city) still looks much as it did in the Middle Ages.

 

Many tourists regard Siena as being worth a day trip from Florence or a half-day stopover on a tour of rural Tuscany. That's a mistake. You should allow at least two days to visit Siena's major churches and museums, plus another day simply to enjoy the unique atmosphere of this historic but lively university town.

Popmeii

Victim of the world's most famous volcano disaster, 2.3 million visitors annually make Pompeii's magnificent ruins seem as crowded as the ancient streets must once have been.

Ever since Pliny the Younger described the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, the city has been the stuff of books, scholarly and frivolous, and a perfect subject for the big screen.

Bologna

Ask most people to name the first Italian city that comes into their head and few will trump out Bologna. That suits this city just fine. While the tourist hordes clog up Florence, Rome and Venice, Bologna remains relatively tourist free, letting the locals enjoy one of the highest standards of living in Italy unmolested.

The heart of Bologna is around the twin piazzas, Maggiore and Nettuno – a handsome public space sealed on all sides by medieval palazzi and the hulk of San Petronio. Here, amid the pigeons, the Bolognese come to shop, to pray, to chat and, of course, to demonstrate. Not just for the ochre colouring of the medieval buildings in the fading evening light is the city known as 'Red Bologna', with socialism and communism a major feature of Bolognese life, ever since determined partisan resistance in World War II.

In Bologna, however, a social conscience and cultural knowledge go hand in hand with a hearty appetite, with the city fully justifying its other moniker, La Grassa, which translates literally as 'The Fat', a reference to the seriousness with which the locals take Epicurean pursuits.

Capri

Referred to as southern Ita's finest jewel, Capri is one of the loveliest and most popular of all tourist destinations in Italy. About 3 miles off the coast of Naples (Napoli), you will discover an enchanting island with its craggy cliffs, white beaches, charming villas, olive groves, fragrant lemon trees, narrow winding roads, garden terraces filled with flowers, and spectacular views of the blue water.

Capri's natural and manmade attractions are undeniable. The coastline, whose dolomite cliffs fall right to the sea in many spots, is dotted with countless caves and surrounded by reefs whose shapes suggest fantastic creations. Countless little paths and steps offer opportunities to explore the island on foot�most of the footpaths offer fantastic views!

Florence

The weather in Florence changes a lot during the course of the year in a typical mediteranean cicle.

The four seasons are very well defined, thus, it is very cold in the winter, gentle in the spring, hot in the summer and rainy in the fall.

The architecture is quite impressive and the shopping takes every woman's breath away ;), it is also a very romantic city  with an active nightlife and full of art.

Florence can be resumed with one word. PLEASURE. 

Milan

Milan has been since the Middle Ages and international financial, industrial and commercial center.
These days Milan has became one of the largest cities in Italy, right after Rome and of course it's the economic central of the country.

It's the proud city with the highest income per capita. That's no surprise knowing that the manufactures goes from textiles to motor vehicles and even planes!
It also has a large construction industry and it's one of the most important silk markets in all Europe.

Of course if I talk about Milan I can't forget that is the biggest fashion center in italy, a and most of the world, also it's home of the most exclusive, amazing, and expensive designer's shops ever.
