When someone mentions traveling to Italy, what is the mental image that comes to mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about undulant verdant hills in dreamy soft-focus, banded with rows of grapevines? Cyprus trees that line a meandering road, vanishing into the distant horizon? A rustic dinner table in the open air, abundant with the freshest local ingredients that have been coaxed into culinary perfection by talented chefs? And don\u2019t forget the passionate conversation that flows like vino<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, that is the \u201cpainting\u201d that most people conjure when asked to describe their dreams about traveling to Italy. And it’s an amazing masterpiece. It truly is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Italy offers so much more than just a few chapters from someone else\u2019s memoir. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It can be gorgeous and relaxing, yes, but also exciting, educational, and of course, delicious! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their first trip to Italy, most travelers opt for a fairly common route intended to discover all the rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and culinary traditions that they\u2019ve always read about, or heard about from other people\u2019s travel stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rome, for example, is an open-air museum, as well as being an ideal destination for enjoying the best of Italian cuisine. From the majesty of the Vatican to the local charm of Trastevere, Rome is probably the most diverse city in Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another stop on the standard tour is Milan. The fashion capital that never sleeps: dynamic, lively, it is ideal for those who love getting lost in shopping and trendy nightclubs. And let\u2019s not forget Leonardo\u2019s Last Supper fresco and the incredible architecture of Milan\u2019s main cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n
