Across twelve days, this itinerary traces a path through Italy’s most emblematic places and authentic traditions, each destination revealing a different layer of the country’s story.
The opening chapter unfolds in Rome, where centuries of history rise from the Colosseum to the Vatican’s treasures. Layers of empire, papal grandeur, and everyday Roman life converge in a city that remains both monumental and full of character, from its ancient ruins to its lively neighborhoods.
Further south, Naples showcases energetic streets and bold flavors, a city where daily life unfolds against a backdrop of baroque churches and sweeping views of the bay. Nearby, Pompeii tells a tale frozen in time beneath the gaze of Vesuvius.
The route then ascends to Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, where masterpieces fill museums and churches, and Tuscan cuisine adds another layer to its artistic soul. From here, the path winds through the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, where vineyards and medieval cities preserve traditions that have endured for generations.
The journey closes in Venice. Heading to the floating city, a stop in Padua reveals a vibrant city of arcaded streets, historic squares, and timeless art, adding another dimension before reaching the lagoon.
Finally, Venice: a city unlike any other, where canals and palaces reflect centuries of maritime power and artistic grandeur. Beyond its landmarks, the islands of Murano and Burano enrich the experience with glassmaking traditions and colorful charm.
Planned with precision and rhythm, the itinerary combines guided expertise, cultural immersion, and authentic flavors.
More than a sequence of destinations, it creates a narrative of Italy’s essentials: structured, engaging, and memorable.
