Cultural Italy

The Cinquecento in Florence. From Michelangelo to Giambologna

ART EXHIBIT
With over 70 works from Michelangelo, Bronzino, Giorgio Vasari, Rosso Fiorentino, Pontormo, Santi di Tito, Giambologna and Bartolomeo Ammannati to name a few, the focus is on the period marked by the patronage of Francesco I de’ Medici. The Medici Family’s history can be traced back to the 13th Century but it was Francesco’s influence on the art in Florence during the late 1500s that this exhibit explores.

Picasso: Tracing a Life, an Artist

ART EXHIBIT
To map out the life of an artist, their birthplace, the places they lived and visited and even the places they dreamed of visiting are all that must be considered. But to map out an influence on art itself and the disciplines beyond is a true once in a lifetime experience.

Behind the Scenes: Shooting Wonder Woman in Italy

FILM LOCATION
When it comes to movies, some places seem too beautiful and spectacular to be real. Italy has long been the location for many blockbuster movies such as Quantam of Solace and this year’s Wonder Woman. From the beaches at Villa Cimbrone to the Castel Del Monte, these spectacular sites made these fictional locations a gorgeous reality.

Our compliments to Luana La Croce for putting it all together. Every pickup, meeting point was exactly on time & professional.
Hotels were great. Highlights are hard to name as there were so many.

Monica at Cultural Italy created the perfect itinerary for a trip to Rome, Florence and Venice.  My mother and I were traveling and we didn't want to worry about trip logistics but we also wanted the freedom to be on our own and not in a group.

Buongiorno Manuela!
I’ll just run down my trip with you but I was 100% satisfied with everything.  All of the drivers and guides were on time, courteous and professional but I did have some favorites that I’ll tell you about.
Thank you again for all that you did and I am so happy with the trip you booked for me.  It was PERFECTION!!

Hi Pia,
My daughter and I got home today.  The trip was FANTASTIC!!!  I would love to fill out an email from Zicasso, however I have not received one yet.  I liked the hotels - they each had different character and were great in their own way.

Hello Roberta,
I wanted you to know that we loved our trip to Italy. We were pleased with how everything layed out and went relatively smoothly. I'm not sure you new this but when we were in Rome the Pope gave a blessing to a statue across the street from our hotel. While watching the whole event from our roof we had a nice dinner.

Hi Monica,
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our trip to Italy, planned for us by Culture Italy!!  The classic tours we requested (The Vatican City, The Colosseum, Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius) were small groups, and during the early morning hours, just as we had asked.  The tour guides spoke perfect English and had so many interesting stories to tell...we enjoyed every minute of each tour!

Buongiorno Manuela,
This was our second time using Cultural Italy and in my opinion there is no other way to see Italy, as we would have been lost without your guidance and expertise.  You helped us build the best itinerary imaginable.

Wine tasting in Piedmont

FOOD & WINE
There is no better place for a wine lover than Italy. The majority of us get used to think that Tuscany is the number-one destination for such purpose, while actually it is far not the only region capable to lift your spirits up while bringing down into your stomach some unique and extraordinary wine flavors. A visit of the Northern Piedmont with its picturesque hills and infinite number of vineyards will give you a proof that magic white and red elixirs along with a unique travel experience are all to be found there.
