January 08, 2024

Some parts of the world could be said so rich a store of art, music, architecture, or so intense a range of natural beauty, from craggy mountains to verdant hills to coasts of shattering beauty. List here, are from among the thousands of possibilities to visit in Italy. So consider this a list rather than the list. 

1. Burano Island

A stroll through the streets of this diminutive island off of Venice is like stepping into a candy-colored fairy tale.

2. Chianti Country

It is one of the best places in Italy for an afternoon drive: along winding, Cyprus-lined roads, past green hills and golden fields with sunflowers. 

3. Venice at dusk

Early evening is the best time to marvel at this architectural wonder--the sun reflecting off the water casts a glow that, attached with the echo of the continually lapping waves, becomes something wonderful. 

4. Manarola, The UNESCO World Heritage "Cinque Terre"

At 10-mile stretch of coastline, the villages have recovered, the walking path connecting them has been restored, and the hunt for the best spaghetti enjoyed al fresco is back on.

5. St. Peter's Basilica at night, Rome

After spending time at Vatican in the daytime, you can take in this achievement of Renaissance architecture in the evening -- it really looks heaven sent.

6. Prato della Valle, Padua

This is the Italy's largest and loveliest town square with open-air markets, a statue-lined canal, and generous green space for taking a moment to sunbathing. 

7. Positano, Campania

With its famous Le Sirenuse hotel and a prime location on the Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of Italy's most lust-worthy coastal towns. It look like a ramshackle birthday cake; mismatched shelves of color tumbling down mountainsides to the sea.
