There are few places in the world that can be compared to the beauty and history of Italy. Ancient civilizations, where myth and history intertwine into a rich tapestry of conquering heroes, terrible wars and the rise and fall of civilization.

If you walk through the streets on those ancient cities, Rome, Florence, Venice… you can almost feel the history of them, it seethes with energy, with memories of the past, strong emotions that fill you with sense of awe that one can only feel in places such as these. Even with the teeming bustle of modern life, these cities hold their mystery close and with a little imagination you can almost see the toga robed people, the chariots, the gladiators battling to the death and travel from there through the ages, seeing the rise of a power that came close to enveloping the whole known world and the fall of an empire.
One cannot help but be affected by the centuries that have left their mark upon the very earth on which these cities stand.
