When you have arrived in Venice, La Serenissima, you will be in a remote corner of the Adriatic that represents the last fragment of a once glorious empire. And that's not all: with Venice sinking at an alarming rate, a certain sense of transience hovers over the fabled gondolas, winding canals, quaint bridges, and unique architecture that have made this city famous. But Venice isn't gone yet, and the proud Venetian people are stubbornly clinging to their island and heritage. Thanks to these efforts, we, like the millions who have experienced Venice in centuries past, are able to immerse ourselves in the splendor of the city's fading but most radiant beauty!

Just west of Romantic Venice is the city that started it all.

For die-hard romantics, what can be a more fitting travel destination than Verona, home of Romeo and Juliet? Any trip to Verona must begin with a visit to the hallowed spot that inspired Shakespeare's masterpiece-the balcony that was the scene of Romeo's reflection, "What light through yonder window breaks?" Next it is on to Verona's ancient side, the famed Arena-Verona's Colosseum, which is one of Italy's best stages for opera during the summer-and the numerous other ruins that are surpassed in quantity only by Rome. Finally, our palates are primed for some exquisite Veronese fare, a culinary tradition that is rendered truly sublime when paired with delicate sips of the glorious nectar produced in nearby Valpolicella!

Next stop: Italy's most lovely lake for more romance, food, and wine!

Once you've arrived, grab a nice bottle of Lombardy or Piedmont wine, go to the lake's edge and pour yourself a glass. Let your eyes absorb Como's magnificence and you will not only see why it has attracted refined vacationers for centuries, but you will also thank the Fates for bringing you here! Around Lake Como every luxury and amenity may be found in abundance, with an emphasis on excellent shopping and fine dining. Be sure to visit each of the delightful lakeside towns on Como-Bellagio and Cernobbio-and to take a boat ride around the around the lake. And if you are interested in Italy's fashion and silk industries, the town of Como will fascinate you tremendously!
