 Rome - Region Latium
Rome, the Eternal City, Rome Caput Mundi. A unique city worldwide because of the completely opposite styles of art and life that manage to live side by side there: Imperial Rome and Baroque Rome, sophisticated Rome and working-class Rome.
Rome is home to some of the most admired tourist attractions in the world - St Peter's Basilica; the Coliseum; and, as Anita Eckberg highlighted, the Trevi Fountain.

 Florence - Region Tuscany 
Bella Italia! The capital city of Tuscany is often described in travel reports as the “Athens of Italy” on account of its cultural importance and outstanding places of interest. The centre of the picturesque historic old town is the Piazza della Signoria, which itself contains many places of interest – the Fountain of Neptune is just one of many. Florence had an enormous impact on the age of the Renaissance. It is to this era and to a number of creative artists like Botticelli and Michelangelo that Florence owes its unique artworks and places of interest. Many of these can be marvelled in the former private collection of the Medici in the Palazzo Pitti.

 Venice - Region Veneto
Virtually unchanged for the last 600 years, Venice is one of the most charming destinations in the world. Built on a network of 118 islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Venice was once a prosperous city that had total control over Mediterranean sea trade, armed with a formidable navy. Today, this UNESCO Heritage-listed port city derives most of its income from tourism, with a reported fifty thousand tourists visiting every day.

 Milan (Region: Lombardy) - Milan is all about worldly pleasures. Shopping is of almost religious significance. Theatre and cinema flourish in this fashionable milieu, as does a hopping club scene and a slew of tempting restaurants.
History is achingly prominent here. The breathtaking Duomo is one of the world's largest, most striking gothic cathedrals, while Milan's art galleries, many housed in former palaces, are home to a host of significant works that include Da Vinci's "Last Supper". You may even find yourself sinking your morning espresso in the same cafe that composer Verdi frequented. Milan receives more visitors than Venice or Florence, yet manages not to be a tourist trap - perhaps that's the real secret to Milan's style.

Almost 2,000 years later, you have the opportunity to explore the site of this famous disaster, the houses, streets and public buildings miraculously preserved by the volcanic ash.

Italian Regions - Regions of Italy
Italy is geographically divided into 20 regions (regioni). A
kaleidoscopic reality with an innate vocation as a cultural melting pot,
ready to be discovered. Like France, many customs and attitudes in Italy are
regional. Even "Italian food" is basically made up of regional dishes. For
example, a traveller might like the wildness and open spaces of the
Abruzzo region, or the cheeses and
wines of the Piemonte region.

Golfing
in Italy
Italy isn't a place that immediately springs to mind when one thinks of
great, global golf destinations. When most Americans think of Italy, they
probably conjure images of the Roman Empire, wine, pizza, beautiful
olive-skinned women and great loafers, not necessarily in that order.
The Italian government is hoping to make a small dent in that mentality,
trying to lure golfers, as have other countries recently bent on attracting
the type of American and European tourists who spend money, rather than
free-loading backpackers.
The country does have excellent - if not world-renowned - golf, with
courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones, Pete
Dye and Robert von Hagge, to name a few. Club Roma "Acquasanta" is the
oldest, built in 1903, and some of the layouts have dramatic, historical
backdrops, like Roman aqueducts and ancient villas.
