Hi Marcella,
Thank you so much for planning our trip. It was amazing and our family had a wonderful time. We appreciated all the time you took to carefully design our trip with family-friendly and educational events and arrange the transportation. The timing for all the events was carefully and well scheduled.
Italy, a country renowned for its rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes, offers more than just a travel destination. For many Americans, it's a popular choice for purchasing a second home.
The LAC Music Festival, known as “Lugano Arte e Cultura,” is a vibrant cultural event held in Lugano, Switzerland, rather than Italy. However, its proximity to the Italian border makes it a popular event for music and art enthusiasts from…

Currently, several of Lotto's masterpieces are gracing various Italian museums. The Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan is showcasing the "Portrait of Laura da Pola" (1543), on loan from the Gallerie d’Italia in Naples.

Dive into Rome’s hidden alleys and whispered legends with Mark Tedesco's insightful narrative, "She Seduced Me: A Love Affair with Rome." This isn't just another recounting of Rome's well-trodden paths; it's a deep, personal voyage into the unseen narratives that blanket this ancient city.
Ischia stands out as the largest volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the port itself nestling on an ancient crater. Its dark volcanic-sand beaches and alkaline thermal springs have made it one of the largest spas in Europe and a popular retreat for centuries.
