Hi Alessia, We had a wonderful time in Italy- especially the week that you helped to plan for us. Really loved Florence, and actually took the train back from Rome to Florence for an extra day with the Up with People group. The gondola ride at sunset in Venice was lovely- I got a very nice photo that I am going to enlarge.

Claudio Abbado, Conductor, dies at 80

NEWS
Claudio Abbado is one of those many artists Italy is also known for and proud of. This great conductor - perhaps the greatest in Italy after Toscanini - was born in Milan in 1933 from an educated middle class family. The father was a talented violinist who guided his two children to the strict, but at the same time free and playful, study of the seven notes.

Hi Alessia,
Our trip was wonderful! All of the guides and drivers were on time and professional and the hotels ranged from great to good…I’m glad we switched primarily from Hotel Romance to Hotel Lunetta in Rome. The family absolutely loved the trip.
