Italy


Italy has always been a oasis of knowledge. An ideal place for conferences and incentives where experiences can be exchanged and influences intersected. The options for venues are so numerous as to be quite unique the world over. In addition to the traditional convention centers and big hotels with congress facilities, one can choose from a wide range of old palaces, castles, historic residences, resorts, magnificent villas and country seats, often set in parks in the Italian style with fountains, lakes and plenty of vegetation, carefully chosen and well tended.

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.


Best of Italy...


Portofino and Tigullio Gulf.. are emblems representing Italy throughout the world. The coast is a series of fashionable resorts with their marinas, colorful houses, first-rate sports facilities and the attractive atmosphere of the Dolce Vita. But perhaps the most spectacular thing for the traveller is the beauty of the seascapes, with some of the most celebrated views in Italy, suspended between the intense blue of the sea and the green mountains.


Café Florian... is a coffee house situated in the Procuratie Nuove of Piazza San Marco, Venice. It was founded in 1720, and is a adversary for the title of the oldest coffee house in continuous operation. It is home to the Venice Biennale, an exhibition of contemporary art that has been running since 1893.


Palazzo Te... is a palace in the suburbs of Mantua, Italy. It is a fine sample of the mannerist style of architecture, the recognised masterpiece of Giulio Romano.


Trattoria Corrieri...Tuck into the world-famous culinary masterpieces of immaculate Parma - emphasis on five kinds of prosciutto and real parmesan cheese - at the memorable, but not overpriced, Trattoria Corrieri.


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. It is often said that Abruzzo has as many castles as it does sheep. Most of this sleepy region has remained lock in medieval times making Abruzzi the first stop for those seeking to take a glance at the past or a chance to see nature as it was hundreds of years ago, unspoiled and perfect.


Da Michele...is a famous place was described by experts and journalists as "The sacred temple of pizza". 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.


Mount Etna... in Sicilian and Mongibello in Italian, it is an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily, close to Messina and Catania. It is the highest mountain in Italy south of the alps and Europe, currently standing about 3,326 m (10,910 ft) high, though it should be noted that this varies with summit eruptions.
