Ars Itineris

"Hard to give voice to the feelings born by this land...the hills and the valleys have eternally been the same. In the sunset, clouds become a united harmony: the olive trees, the walls and the fortresses
...everything is part of it, it's eternal and captures us like nothing else in the world". 
(Hugo von Hoffmannsthal) 

More than 60 % of all artistic works by the old masters are here in Florence; no city can compare or boast such extraordinary buildings, paintings or sculptors of the Italian Renaissance. Great artists like da Vinci, Bernini, Borromini, Donatello, Tiziano and Michelangelo lived and worked here. They transformed this magical city and made it what it is today, one of the world's greatest artworks. 

Florence the home of the Renaissance !

"Napule é mille culure"!  "Naples is thousands of colors" (Pino Daniele - a famous Napoletan singer-songwriter)

Lively children, chaotic traffic, scooters whizzing through the streets ignoring the red lights, clothes hanging out the windows in the ward Spaccanapoli, but also a film with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni and, last but not least, the pizza,  they ar all part of the famous Naples.
In every corner you can litterally breathe the air of an ancient history such as Pompeii, the city buried by Vesuvius or Capri the island of "idleness", Positano known for its fashion or Amalfi, ancient maritime republic and Ravello where Richard Wagner once stayed.

No other place or landscape is so inspiring for the creation of poetry, film, romance and music.

Unforgettable and clearly incomparable!

Thinking about Rome, images of postcards, films or notes of popular songs come to our mind.

An uncountable number of citations exists that triggers ideas, impressions and feelings that allow each of us to create his own "Eternal City". The amazement and wonder that invade every visitor become a normal state of mind. When you scroll through the images they seem almost tangible.

Monumental, magnificient and ever changing, that's how Rome appears: a great movie set in which the scene is constantly changing and introducing the visitor to various epochs. An open-air museum.

Rome - the City of antiquity and "dolce vita"!

An enchanted island, where people sings arcane songs and dances, which conceals its secrets and myths in cyclopean stone towers. The crystal clear sea of quartz transparences and a proud and wild nature reveal an authentic and fascinating beauty in a lively variety of landscapes and sceneries. 

Island that inebriates with its scents and flavors and intrigues with its symbols and rituals, heritage of archaic arts and traditions. 

Island where you can let yourself go and contemplate the present. 

Island that welcomes you warmly arousing pure emotions. 

It's Sardinia! 

" Italy without Sicily, spiritually unmanageable" also "The purity of the contours, the softness of everthing, the pliable mutuality of the hues, the harmonious unity of sky with sea and the sea with the land. Who once sees them, will be possessed by them for the rest of his life."

JW Göthe, from "Voyage in Italy", 1817

An uncountable number of cities rich in art, the Mount Etna and the sea of the near Taormina. Suspended in a world without time: alchemy of pure feelings, emotions, smells and tastes. An oasis in the Mediterranean Sea, with the hourglass of time, never at the same grain.

Sun and sea. History and culture, that's Sicily and much more.

Warriors, patrons, merchants, bankers, entrepreneurs, over the centuries they have left their mark on the cultural and material civilization of Tuscany, perhaps the most envied region of Europe, perhaps, of the world. 

It's easy to say Tuscany. But what are you referring to? To a wine? To a territory? Neither this nor that allows a clear definition. So?
Let's just savior this magic word: a unique wine and a land that includes Florence, Siena and the surroundings. Places of ardent beauty, blessed by God and men.

Tuscany - synonymous of Renaissance and "savoir vivre"!

The lagoon city is often presented as the new Atlàntida but, at the same time, we can learn the secret of a long life, from Venice itself!

In Tiziano Scarpa's guide book we read "Venice is a fish". This is clearly verifiable when you take a look out of the plane approaching Marco Polo airport. Cannaregio is the head of the fish; S.Croce, S.Polo and S. Marco the gills divided by the Canal Grande; the mouth is opening between Dorsoduro and Giudecca with Castello and S. Elena forming its tail.

Venice offers an enormous amount of works of art created throughout the centuries by world-famous artists.
The Biennale and the International Film Festival attract thousands of visitors every year.

Venice will surprise you !

Welcome to the region of the cheerful cypress-trees!
Verona sure is one of the most fascinating Italian cities, praised by Dante - who was not an easy man to please - for its "magnificence". Göthe was the first to sing its praises but in Malcesine, first they mistook him for a spy, then they revered him. On this Riviera, some people fall in love, others cultivate solitude. Stories of Heine, Kafka, Gide and, of course, Gabriele D'Annunzio have found their inspiration here.
Verona owes its legendary aura to an English poet, while Garda Lake's success is due to a German poet.
In modern times the American author Ernest Hemingway, who stayed in Italy during the First World War, mentioned the famous Valpolicella wine, in one of his works "Across the Rivver and into the Trees", where he defines the wine "friendly as a brother to get along well".

We will plan for you a visit to enhance and pamper the senses!
