Places to visit - I luoghi di visitare







The second category is growing collection of articles about specific Italian locations. This section is growing and we are continually adding articles but recognize that our task of covering Italian tourist locations can never be completed.



Running along Italy's border with Switzerland is a sequence of lakes that offer gorgeous scenery and a chance to experience a region in Italy that, while not undiscovered, has been ignored by many travelers. The Italian Lakes, which spread through the Piedmont and Lombardy regions, each have a different flavor, although all offer beautiful scenery and colorful towns, comfortable restaurants and unexpected treasures.


Although no part of Italy is undiscovered, many travelers believe that the region of Umbria, with its quilt of fortified hill towns, provides some the best vacation travel in Italy.

Florence's art and architecture rivals Rome. During the Renaissance, Florence was the art center of western civilization. A list of past residents of the city represents the "Who's Who" of the Masters, including: Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, among others. Culture seems to ooze from the frescoes and statues; perhaps that is why Florence and its museums tend to be incredibly attractive to tourists.



Offering scenic canals, beautiful buildings and world famous landmarks, Venice is an experience unique in the world of travel. The city seems to exude romance, history, fantastic photo opportunities and good food, almost at every corner. Exploring Venice is an experience that you will never forget. Whether taking a gondola down the Grand Canal or examining this romantic city's unique setting and architecture while on foot, you will find Venice inviting and magical.
