Last Minute Tips Before you Travel to Italy

Lucca and Pisa
Lucca. is a destination small enough to absorb in just few hours and rich enough in history to be a thoroughly satisfying experience. Not as well known as Pisa, or Florence, the birthplace of the renaissance, Lucca is, however, filled with history and not completely overrun with tourists.

Movie Rome
I wanted to visit Rome from the moment a I saw Audrey Hepburn drive a Vespa in Roman Holiday, and then came Three Coins in the Fountain, and I knew I could find Romance in the eternal city, but it would be Federico Fellini who would truly capture my heart with La Dolce Vita and Roma.

POMPEII Captured in Time
The city of Pompeii has always intrigued me. I don’t know exactly why, other than to literally see a moment captured in time, a moment stilled like the hands on a clock stopped at a tragic moment.
