Say Rome and you think of the Colloseum, Tiber and Trevi fountain, not to mention the Roman civilisation which changed the world we live in. Rome is a city of history, art, culture, style, and of course like all Italian cities, of food.
Say Tuscany and you think of rolling hills and poplar trees, vineyards and excellent wine, old farmhouse in acres of countryside and buildings like the Uffizi, the cathededral, the Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Vecchio.
Say Venice and you think of Gondola's, St.Marks Square, Canals and the famous Carnevale with streets full of people wearing the distinctive white Venetian painted masks. Venice is a city of culture, art, history and style that has firm maritime roots.
