Welcome to Italy
We have been to Italy three times, twice on Cruise and once we did a land tour of Northern Italy as part of a bigger trip. It is a beautiful country with a tremendous amount of history. We went from the biggest city like Rome to a mountainside retreat like Civita de Bagnorgio. Anytime you can go there you should.
