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!

Looking west to the mainland we fine another of Italy's brightest stars. Like all Italians, Milan natives enjoy creamy cappuccinos, Puccini operas, and exquisite wines; but often Milan's work-heavy lifestyle forces its people to put industriousness first and leisure second. But for us as vacationers this is actually a plus, because we get to enjoy the fruits of their labor! The most obvious of these is high fashion, which is always the most cutting-edge on the globe and is sold at prices that you will find very pleasing. Just as important, Milan is blessed with fine art and architecture, both because its artists have contributed a fair amount to Italy's cultural heritage and because Milan's wealthy residents historically have made a habit of purchasing Europe's finest art!

City life is great, and Milan demonstrates that beautifully. But after awhile it makes you yearn for the cool, peaceful air found along Italy's most magnificent lake. 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!
