Next up: northern Italy's undiscovered and remarkably delicious culinary capital!

Incredible as it may seem, Americans still haven't discovered Bologna. After you've enjoyed yourself in this amazing city-with the finest cuisine in Italy, the oldest university in Europe, and some of the best venues for the arts in the country-you'll wonder why the destination is not on the radar of every prospective vacationer. What's more, Bologna is a city of pulsating energy that sparkles in the faces of everyone from the hyper-left-wing youngster to the venerable man reflecting in the piazza. Add to this the city's unusual red brick charm and you'll see that Bologna provides the ideal backdrop for embracing the rhythm of Italian life!

What awaits us to the south is no less remarkable.

If we were charged with the task of picking the single place that has elevated the delights of Italy from first-rate to transcendental, it would be Tuscany. Within this region humanity experienced the spark of genius-perhaps the greatest in our history-that was the Italian Renaissance. And when we think of superlative Italian cuisine and wine, Tuscany is the ideal against which all other traditions are compared. Where else in the world do we have endless rolling vine-covered hills complemented by radiant golden sunflowers as our very own back yard? Italy is a country well endowed with the extraordinary-but it all begins here, in Tuscany.

In inspiration continues in the Riviera's most picturesque destination!

Cinque Terre moves the human heart like few places in the world. It consists of five remote seaside villages that are connected by walking paths that take you through the region's lush forest, from atop of which you will have some of Italy's most striking panoramas imaginable. One might say that Cinque Terre is like a time portal: owing to the very steep terrain, the villages lack many of the trappings of modern life, with a notable and refreshing absence of automobiles. From its rich lands grow exotic herbs, vegetables, and grapes that all contribute to Cinque Terre's amazing dining experience!
