Italy is an inextricable fabric of landscape and architecture, works of art and traditions which distinguish it from other countries and make it the ideal place for conventions, work and pleasure in all seasons.

Galleria dell'Accademia...The Florence's Galleria dell'Accademia is a Italian museum, founded in 1784, hosts a collection of sculptures and paintings. This museum owes its own popularity due to the presence of David by Michelangelo, which was moved there in 1873.


Assisi... in Italy extends out on the hills of the Monte Subasio, above the plain where the Topino and Chiascio rivers flow. Although this city can boast Roman origins, its present-day aspect, because of the buildings and also the urban structure, is surely due to the city's development during the Middle Ages. In Assisi, attend one of the fairly frequent concerts in the Upper Church of the Basilica di San Francesco, a space so beautiful and uplifting the music truly takes on celestial dimensions.


Abruzzi... is a town picturesque in its scenery. Many old villages were abandoned and continue largely complete and the country side is rich with historic sites.

Michele opened his first pizzaria in 1906, since then, five generations of master pizza makers have carried on the work of the founder, respecting the tradition and being loyal to Michele's instructions, there are only two types of Neapolitan Pizza, the "Marinara" and the "Margherita"; and no "junk" should be used in making the pizza that could alter its world famous genuineness and taste.


Monte Solaro... from Piazza della Vittoria a chairlift takes you up Mount Solaro to the highest point of the island (1932 feet). You should take the scenic chairlift ride up to the top of Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island of Capri, for stupendous views of the entire Bay of Naples.
