ROME & LATIUM Region

Latium, too often little known with respect to its capital, is a treasure trove of age old civilizations : roads, bridges, aqueducts, monuments, buildings, churches, towers, strongholds, sanctuaries, monasteries, abbeys, villas and necropolis have much to tell the visitor in search of emotion. The many lakes, some of which are volcanic in origin, are often set in a landscape of thick vegetation and delightful mountain scenery.

FLORENCE & TUSCANY Region

This is the land of harmony, the land of the Renaissance, the Hills, the crystal-clear light, the serenity of small towered towns. The Tuscan people are gifted with a great artistic sense and the region has become a temple to beauty. This is evident in nobly designed buildings and villas which often stand alone on hilltops surrounded by reddening vineyards and silvery olive groves in the melancholy beauty of the Southern district called Maremma, in the mysterious metal-bearing hills near Volterra and in the quiet pastoral atmosphere around Siena.
Not to mention the birthplace of the Italian Language .... Florence !
