Can you believe that these beautiful beaches are one hour and a half far from Rome?

This means that you can easily combine your stay in Rome with some days of total relaxation by the Sea.

This area is in the southern part of Lazio, and it is beautiful for its landscapes, its little villages, its fascinating history, its food, its wines, and the impressive presence of the beautiful Mount Circeo, the location of ancient and amazing myths and legends.

When I was sixteen, one of my favorite books was "A room with a view" by E.M . Forster, and of course, I loved the movie as well.

A decisive event in the novel takes place in Signoria Square that the author summarizes with this sentence:
"It was not exactly that a man had died; something had happened to the living: they had come to a situation where character tells, and where Childhood enters upon the branching paths of Youth."

And this was probably what my teenager's heart felt in that moment, precisely the passage from childhood to youth.

To make the long story short, every time I go to Florence I MUST go to Signoria Square, so I did the last December, when I attended a tourism fair there, after nearly two years of online exhibitions.

I only had one hour free, so I walked to the city center to breathe the atmosphere of great beauty this city always spreads, till I reached the square.

The sunlight was enlightening the Tower of Palazzo Vecchio, and everything seemed really perfect to brighten up good memories from the youth and from other trips to Florence.

And you, do you have a special book connected to a place or to a particular moment of your life?

2022 has already started for a few days, and I haven’t published anything for some time.

Nevertheless, I have never been absent from Instagram 😉

I followed all of you, appreciating your photos and thoughts, sometimes very funny, sometimes very emotional, sometimes very deep and intimate ♥️

I never stopped following my precious suppliers, especially to maintain our human relationship, which is always necessary, and even more so in these two, not easy years.

I also had the opportunity to find new charming hotels and b&b, and virtually meet their incredible hosts; I studied new destinations and discovered ancient traditions, amazing artisans, wineries, restaurants, old café, and patisseries.

I met new professionals who also became good friends.
In a few words, I stayed a little behind the scenes and took my time to improve and grow, both professionally and personally.

2021 has been a year, for me, of small but significant achievements that will take shape in exciting news in the forthcoming months of this new year.
I will tell you more in detail as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I am always at your disposal to organize your tailor-made trip to Italy, your honeymoon, your romantic getaway, and your unforgettable destination wedding in my beautiful country.
The e-mail address is [email protected], but if you prefer, you can also send me a message directly here on Instagram.

I wish you a sparkling 2022 made of smiles, hugs (we miss them a lot!), vitality, and optimism ♥️

See you soon 😘

Venice ♥️

TGIF 🤩 It's time for "Aperitivo" and Venetians know how to do it! Have you ever tried "Cicchetti"? Great and authentic finger food that you should definitely try while drinking a Spritz or a good wine!

Once in Rome..... !!!

Il Maritozzo in epoca romana veniva utilizzato per le proposte di matrimonio. Oggi non solo è la colazione preferita dai romani, ma sta anche letteralmente spopolando in Giappone e in Corea! Del resto, come resistere alla brioche riccamente farcita di panna montata?

Once in Rome, start your day with a delicious Maritozzo, a lightly sweetened brioche-style bun filled with fresh whipped cream. In the Roman times it was used for marriage proposals (“Marito” is the Italian word for “husband"). Now is the most beloved breakfast in town, and is gaining popularity even in Japan and Korea!

Need to be pampered?

Saturnia, near Grosseto in Tuscany, is considered the best spa in the world and is a popular destination for wellness lovers. Resting on the high part of the plain within the Albegna Valley, Saturnia dominates the magical environment of the inland area around Grosseto: think tuff landmasses, gorgeous green expanses, and typical Tuscan countryside roads offering panorama after panorama of the region's immense beauty.

Dopo la presentazione al Presidente del Consiglio nei giardini del Quirinale, il 4 luglio del 1957 viene mostrata al pubblico e cominciano le prime vendite della 500 FIAT.
La 500 è diventata un autentico mito su quattro ruote, celebrato dal cinema, dalla letteratura: un vero simbolo del design italiano.

After being presented to the Prime Minister in the Quirinale gardens, the 500 FIAT was shown to the public on 4 July 1957 and began to be sold. The 500 has become an authentic myth, celebrated by cinema and literature: a true symbol of the Italian design.

- Ricordi di Roma - La Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti 🎞 foto del 1964
La Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti, che con il suo alternarsi di sporgenze e rientranze è l'espressione di una monumentalità tipica del settecento romano che la accomuna alle altre importanti realizzazione urbane del secolo, è il raccordo scenografico tra le pendici del Pincio dominate dalla chiesa della SS. Trinità e la sottostante piazza di Spagna. Queste foto custodite nell'Archivio Storico di Roma Capitale sono del 1964. © Archivio Capitolino

🇮🇹 Italy, the international destination most desired by American travelers.
It is confirmed by the Tour Operators associated to USTOA (United States Tour Operator Association), participants to a recent survey aimed to monitor the post Covid trends and consumers’ travel behavior. Americans are willing to travel, in a safe manner, as soon as possible, and in compliance with health protocols. The majority of the tour operators (56%) who contributed to the survey, declared to be busy working at travel packages requested by customers who wish to visit overseas destinations in 2021. Out of the desirable destinations requested by travel consumers, Italy stands out with the highest number of bookings, followed in second and third place by the UK and Ireland.
“We received numerous requests (83%) also for travelling in 2022”, declares USTOA. The highest request is for international trips, with Italy leading the list of the overseas destination in high demand in 2022. Germany, France, Greece and Ireland follow through.
The ranking, USTOA points out, is based solely on bookings made in 2021

🇮🇹 Today Italy celebrates Liberation Day, which marks the end of the Nazi-Fascist occupation during World War II!
This celebration pays tribute to partisans and soldiers, who fought to free the country.

🇨🇦 Canadian troops played a vital role in the 20-month Mediterranean campaign and many Canadians gave their lives in cruel battles.

🙏Montecassino Abbey was one of the many sites where hundreds of civilians and Canadian troops lost their lives in what would be remembered as a turning point of the war.
Completely destroyed, Montecassino Abbey was entirely rebuilt. Its timeless beauty inspires meditation and has become a symbol of man's resilience. In Cassino is also located The War Cemetery, the second largest Second World War cemetery in Italy. More than 4,200 Commonwealth graves are located here, of which 855 are Canadian.
