Travel to Italy

Gran Premio di Formula Uno

The Italians stage the Formula One World Championships on the same track that the mythical Ferraris are tested out. Every September, one of the fiercest competitions takes place, as international Formula One drivers take each other on, driving around the 5,770 metres of racing track at Monza. Their aim? To gain the Winner's Cup and get those 10 extra points to secure the World Champion title. The race always starts at 2p Italian time and consists of 53 laps. Tickets are priced according to the day and location (stands or field) and reservations can be made at the race track and other outlets.

Parco di Monza

Monza Park was created between 1805-10 on the orders of Luigi di Beauharnais, the Napoleonic viceroy, as an extension of the gardens of the Villa Reale to create a model estate and hunting grounds. Designed by Luigi Canonica, a pupil of Piermarini, and Luigi Villoresi, it was enlarged in 1840 by Giovanni Brenna. The park is one of Lombardy's largest green areas and the largest enclosed park in Europe. It has a perimeter of 14 km and covers 800 hectares; it has 3 woods, cultivated areas, mills, farmhouses and villas and was landscaped to create long straight views that once divided the various areas to suit the court. The Autodromo was built in it in 1920 (one of the first race tracks) and has continued to take up more space ever since, changing the nature of the park. The construction of 150,000 seats on 1 million sq. metres of land brought the destruction of various sections of woodland. There are also various other sporting facilities: 9 and 18 hole golf courses, tennis courts and a riding school bring thousands of visitors and sports fans every Sunday.

Adria's Cup

The Circolo Nautico di Riccione organizes the Adrias Cup sailing regatta every year in collaboration with the Yachting Club di Porto Verde. The competition's route crosses the Adriatic from Porto Verde, to Riccione, to Sansego (in Croatia), to the Galiola island, and back to Porto Verde. The regatta takes place annually during July and lasts for around 40 hours. Cabin cruisers of all lengths are allowed to take part and are subdivided into "cruise" and "regatta" classes

Basilica Santuario di Santo Stefano

This church is a fascinating mix of styles, actually is like a multi-church meanning several churches in one. Bolognese think of this place as one of the treasures of the city; the remains of a Roman temple were incorporated in the first part of the church and as time passed new parts were added in different ages. Not to be missed.

The Colosseum

The Colosseum is a giant amphitheater in the center of the city of Rome, used for the Gladiators fights and public spectacles, during the time of the Roman Empire. Gladiatorial games, animal hunts, executions, reenactments of famous battles, were held at this place for over 500 years, and it is considered an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome, and one of the finest examples of the Roman architecture.

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.
