DAY TRIP
Genoa, the capital of Liguria, has the second busiest port and is the sixth largest city in Italy. One of the most beautiful cathedrals if found here. The Duomo di Genova or Cattedrale di San Lorenzo was consecrated in 1118. Updated and embellished through the centuries, today it is famous for its almost two bell towers, a catchy façade, Gothic portals and stunning marble decorations.
Franca & Fiorella,
The trip was very much a success. Our favorite part was the time in San Gimignano. It was nice to get away from the crowds and relax. The highlight of the trip was the wine tasting at Tenuta Torciano.
Manuela,
Thank you for all the work you put into planning the trip. You did a great job. It was awesome and a trip we will always remember.
ART
Visiting Italian holy places, expect sights beyond human scale. Expect magnificence and the divine. Expect something outstanding and almost heavenly imposing. Expect pure beauty and the ornate looking down at you from above. It is in Italy, if fact, that you will learn the real meaning of a masterpiece.
Dear Alessia,
I just wanted you to know that the Italian trip you built with Betty Speir was beyond perfect. I know Betty has emailed you and written a review but I personally wanted to say "thank you".
Alessia,
Thank you so much for planning our Italian trip for us. Our guides, tours, and drivers were top notch, and our hotels were just right. And you even made restaurant reservations for us.
EXHIBITION
You won’t believe your eyes! Bright colors, neon lights and luminous installations that alter your visual and physical perception of space and time is now on show in Milan. Stunning “Environments” exhibition of Lucio Fontana’s works will bring you through surreal sequence of spaces: from totally dark and soft-lined, to dazzling, monochrome, seemingly infinite, or even tight and anxious nine rooms.
DAY TRIP
134 meters long by 48 meters wide, and surrounded by continuous arcades on its three sides, this giant piazza in Vigevano seems to be almost out of scale. It is really surprising indeed that such a tiny town possesses such a spectacular and epic city square. Impressive, however not only in terms of its dimensions, but relevant also for its stunning architecture.
Hi Emanuela,
We loved our trip! It took me a few extra days to get back to the states due to the storm, but I'm finally back and settled.
Hi Nicoletta,
The trip was great. The tours of Rome worked ideally, and our son really enjoyed them. It was great to not have to worry about lines and such, and the guides were delightful. Our time on the Amalfi Coast was especially fun as well.
Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you, Roberta. Been trying to get caught up since our return. Whatever I write can never come close to expressing my true feelings and satisfaction with you and CULTURAL ITALY!
Hi Pia,
Again, you did a fabulous job with the arrangements. We couldn't have had a better time. What a wonderful trip we have had. We are very grateful for all that you have done. We have memories to last a lifetime.
