A trip to Italy to explore the artistic treasures of cities
such as Florence and Rome is truly a celebration of life.
For nowhere else will one find such immense cultural
and historical wealth in one country.
Florence is one of Italy’s most important cities. Called
the “Cradle of the Renaissance” for the art and the
architecture that flourished here between the 13th and
16th centuries, Florence is a mecca for art lovers. Visit
the Duomo Museum, stroll past the bronze doors of the
fascinating octagonal-shaped Baptistery, which took
Ghiberti 27 years to create and which Michelangelo
declared the “Doors to Paradise.”
In Florence there is so much to choose from – the
masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery or the Pitti Palace;
Michelangelo’s marble creations in the Medici Chapels
or a walk across the Ponte Vecchio. Or, a stroll through
Boboli gardens can be the ideal way to spend an
afternoon.
From Florence journey to Rome, the Eternal City
and capital of Italy. Rome is the home of Julius Caesar
and the powerful Holy Roman Empire. This city has
influenced art, architecture, literature and government
throughout the Western world for more than 2,200
years. See the Quirinal Palace, Piazza Venezia, Roman
Forum, Coliseum and other landmarks. Don’t miss the
opportunity to have a gelato in the Piazza Navona
where you’ll be entertained by the many young Italians
on mopeds while you sample the best ice cream you’ve
ever had.
Of course, a trip to Rome would not be complete
without experiencing the majesty of the Vatican, a state
and city all in one. Enter the Sistine Chapel and admire
Michelangelo’s famous ceiling, gaze at the Madonna
before descending into the crypts of the Vatican where
many of the Popes lay in peace.
