Snowlife
Trentino-Alto
Adige
Snowlife,
when the bright white snow takes over the highest mountain tops, giving the landscapes
a new shape: it's an unmistakable sign of a change of season, the perception of
which is now getting lost down in the "valley life".

Love is...
Veneto
Venice, probably the most
romantic place in Italy: during this month, the city gets its charm even emproved
by the occurrence of its famous Carnival, the most beautiful in Italy.

In the country
Tuscany
Going across the country,
through its narrow streets, it would be hard to find straight roads: there's just
a few houses, and you would not so often see villages, cars or farm tractors.
On your sides there are fields and hills, cornfields and vines; here's a farm,
a little bar, a canteen.

Easter in
Franciacorta
Franciacorta
Franciacorta, a "noble"
land located in the district of Brescia, is out of the most typical touring
routes, but it is with no doubt worth a visit, easy to reach from Milan, Brescia,
Bergamo. We chose it as a goal for our Easter itinerary.

Fetes and festivals
in Chianti
Tuscany
May, in the Catholic
religion, is the month dedicated to the
Madonna, while, for country people, it heralds the reawakening of nature.
Our journey through the land of Chianti Classico unwinds amidst religious architecture,
natural beauties and the lively celebrations established by Tuscan traditions.

The coulors of
the Dolomites
Trentino-Alto Adige
The
mountains are changing colour: the white of the snow has given way to the
first shy spring hues that tinge the mountain tops more clearly day by day. The
most striking is the red blaze of the rocks in the Dolomites as they reflect the
glory of sunrise and sunset...

The lake in
the summer
Franciacorta
Our July itinerary is set amongst the
undulating hills of Franciacorta, which
roll gently down to Lake Iseo. Here, surrounded by nature, the country landscapes
and the lake, you can savour the relaxation of fishing or the thrill of crossing
the water driven by the wind.

The northern
Adriatic
Veneto
Sandy
beaches, running long and wide as far as the eye can see; blue sea and relatively
crowded towns and tourist attractions (as almost everywhere in summer), although
the area is never totally "overrun".

Amongst wines
and castles
Trentino-Alto Adige
In September, in Trentino -Alto
Adige, you will be met by the hues of the wine harvest. This
is one of the best periods to visit the region. The castles scattered along
the ridges, in the woods, in the valleys and on the banks of the lakes play a
leading role in this itinerary, as the surviving evidence of a tradition with
age-old roots.

Fruits of the forest
Franciacorta
The
woods are most beautiful in autumn, and also most productive, giving us all
kinds of goodies to compensate for the ending of summer. We propose an itinerary
that starts out from the hills of Franciacorta and then sneaks into Val Camonica
to discover what the woods can offer us: mushrooms, chestnuts, honey, to be consumed
"on the spot" or used in delicious recipes accompanied by a good bottle of wine.
Wine is a real speciality of this area.

The pork
season
Veneto
When winter draws near, it
is time for the pig slaughter. We dedicate this November itinerary to the
pig and its meat, going on a voyage of discovery to seek out the traditions and
the gastronomic virtues of this animal in the Veneto region. Here too, as in many
other regions of Italy, the pig slaughter is a time for celebration.

[December]
•Natale in Toscana
Tuscany
Now we escape from the thousands of lights that are starting to illuminate the
chaotic and traffic-ridden streets of the city to immerse ourselves in
the beautiful hills of Chianti Classico country. This is where our Christmas
itinerary unwinds, in one of the loveliest areas of Tuscany.
