From ancient Rome to the Vatican City, from Assisi and the legend of Saint Francis to the delicious Tuscan countryside with its rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves, medieval hamlets and abbeys. Dream cities like Siena, Pisa, Lucca and smaller but not lesser wall towns will frame the visit to Florence, world capital of medieval and renaissance art. This is the land of Dante Alighieri, Giotto, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and many other personages, poets, sculptors, philosophers and musicians. Travelling northward we will see Mantua, astounding city on water birthplace of Virgilio and Mantegna, Verona with its stunning Arena, dear to Shakespeare who set some of his works here including Romeo and Juliet.
