Classic Italy

About This Project

Italy isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience that speaks to the soul. With its stunning variety of landscapes, vibrant cities steeped in history, and culinary traditions that make every meal unforgettable, Italy captures the hearts of travelers from all over the world. Whether you’re an art lover, a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who loves to explore beautiful places, Italy offers something truly extraordinary.

Let’s take a closer look at three of its most iconic cities, each one a masterpiece in its own right.

Rome: The Eternal City

There’s no place quite like Rome. With more than 2,000 years of history layered beneath your feet, the city is an open-air museum. Wander through ancient ruins like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, where the ghosts of emperors and gladiators still seem to linger. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure your return, then stand in awe beneath the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.

But Rome isn’t just about the past, it pulses with life. From morning cappuccinos in sunny piazzas to late-night strolls through Trastevere, Rome invites you to live like a local. Don’t forget to indulge in Roman specialties like cacio e pepe, supplì, and of course, a scoop (or three) of gelato.

Must-See Highlights:

• Colosseum & Roman Forum

• Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel

• Pantheon

• Piazza Navona & Spanish Steps

• Authentic Roman trattorias in Testaccio or Trastevere

Florence: A Renaissance Dream

Step into Florence and you step into the heart of the Renaissance. This enchanting city is overflowing with artistic treasures, from Michelangelo’s David to Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. Every church, palace, and piazza tells a story, and the entire city feels like one giant, beautifully curated gallery.

But Florence is more than its museums. Climb to the top of the Duomo for panoramic views of terracotta rooftops. Sip wine on a sunlit terrace. Explore artisan shops and fashion boutiques. And be sure to savor the rich flavors of Tuscan cuisine, rustic, hearty, and delicious.

Must-See Highlights:

• Uffizi Gallery

• Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore)

• Ponte Vecchio

• Boboli Gardens

• Wine tasting in the nearby Chianti region

Venice: The Floating Wonderland

Venice is pure magic. Built on a network of canals and islands, this city floats somewhere between reality and dream. Ride a vaporetto down the Grand Canal, admire the Byzantine beauty of St. Mark’s Basilica, and get wonderfully lost in its labyrinth of alleyways.

Time slows down here. Mornings start with fresh pastries by the water, afternoons are for exploring hidden art galleries or sipping Aperol spritz in a tucked-away campo, and evenings? They’re for romantic gondola rides as the sun dips behind centuries-old buildings.

Must-See Highlights:

• St. Mark’s Basilica & Doge’s Palace

• Grand Canal & Rialto Bridge

• Gondola ride through quiet back canals

• Murano & Burano islands

• Local seafood dishes like sarde in saor or risotto al nero di seppia
