Italy

The History of Culture.

It’s difficult to fully understand the term “la dolce vita”—literally “the good life”—until they spend some time in Italy. If Rome’s rich history and Tuscany’s postcard-perfect wineries weren’t enough, the romantic canals of Venice, the medieval architecture of Sam Gimignano and the heartwrenching fate of Pompeii would surely convince even the most worldly of travellers. Still unsure? Save an afternoon to people-watch in Florence’s Piazza della Signoria, learn how limoncello is made (and sneak a taste) or explore the mighty volcano Vesuvius. No matter the choice, living la dolce vita is an experience to be savoured. EIARD
