AH Italy! Few countries give so many sensations to the mere evocation of their names. We love its pastas, its pizzas, its focaccias, its Vespas, its Dolce Vita, in short this art of living which is available in all its variations from Lombardy to Sicily through Tuscany. Italy only measures 300 000 km2, but every city we visit is a new trip, a new postcard decor. Difficult to choose among all these destinations? Come, we'll take you by the hand
Rome
Rome is the basis.

Don't miss the famous Colosseum and the colorful Piazza Di Spagna, with its Barcaccia fountain, its 18th-century staircase, and the Church of the Trinity-des-Monts. Before you leave, you will be attracted as a magnet towards the Trevi Fountain, because you respect the traditions, even the most cuculs
Verona
"Verona, The Beautiful Verona", admit, you also learned the existence of this city through the musical Romeo and Juliet! You should know that the fate of the mythical couple has indeed been linked to this city in the region of Veneto, in the north of Italy. And the least we can say is that the souls of the lovers hover, the narrow streets where the old houses of the Capulets and Montagues are located, the empty sarcophagus of Juliet. Behind the romantic and tragic vibrations, the city is peaceful, and it also benefits from the banks of the river Adige
Venice
You should not wait until you have a lover to fly to Venice. Contrary to what one might think, no one checks whether you are in a couple or not at the airport and there are even individual seats on the plane, as for any destination. To you the Place Saint-Marc, the bridge of the Rialto, the palace of the Doges and above all, the visit of Burano, the island multicolor abandoned, by Vaporetto. You who vowed not to play the tourist, you will even find yourself on a gondola, with Ricardo, a dark server of Caffè Florian who will want to pecho you
Florence
Florence has inspired artists like Michelangelo or Botticelli a lot, and it is quite normal. Relaxed, it exudes the fragrant air of its many gardens, such as the Garden of Boboli, the Botanical gardens of simple, or that delle Rose, and rests with the sweet sounds of the Fountains del Bacchino or del Carciofo.

Another attraction of the city, its famous opera of international renown, La Scala in Milan, which houses a museum tracing the beautiful hours of its history
