YOGA IN ITALY
When I went on my first yoga retreat, in Tuscany, I had no idea it would lead to what was essentially a new life. I had been practicing yoga for several years but not seriously—I used a DVD at home, no substitute for classes. My sister was a certified instructor, and after much persuasion I agreed to a weeklong retreat with her own instructor.
MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL
In every little town or village of Italy you’ll happen to be this year, you may find yourself part of a lucky audience about to witness the celebration of some unique tradition, whose origins go way back in time, and are reminiscent of a past that Italy still wants to celebrate and keep alive.
TUSCANY'S HIDDEN JEM
Located on a hill just over 300 meters, Castiglion Fiorentino offers you a relaxing view: from its squares and terraces, the sight of the landscape of 'Val di Chiana' disappears toward the horizon. The small village had already evolved during Etruscan times since the VI century B.C., but it was not until the Roman Empire that the area became more prominent.
WINE, ART & NATURE FESTIVAL
March 15th to June 8th 2014. With the arrival of spring, the villages surrounding the city of Treviso in Veneto are bustling with many events, starting with the famous Primavera Del Prosecco.
