Of all the amazing countries in Europe, Italy is the one I treasure the most—one I continue to return to over and over again. The exquisite beauty of Tuscany’s rolling hills, the dramatic and magnificent shoreline of the Amalfi Coast, the charm and diversity of the Dolomite region, the history of Rome, the meandering canals and colors of Venice, the character of Sicily, and all those beautiful hilltop towns sparkling in the distance, make Italy an unforgettable gem. And if all of that wasn’t enough, add in delicious food, wine, gelato, and the delightful and passionate Italian people themselves with their melodious language, and you’ve got the ultimate dream destination.
