ITALY

Italy is a moveable barbecue of acutely amaranthine courses. Rome bristles with reminders of its Imperial past; Florence and Venice are about alfresco museums; Naples is abounding of Baroque bluff and Palermo locals appearance their Byzantine-Norman treasures with a shockingly laissez-faire attitude. But Italy’s abundance extend far above the obvious. Ski in chichi Courmayeur or ascend the snow-coated peaks of the Sesto Dolomites; band on your boots and yield to the hills of Tuscany or don artist shades and island hop about Sicily; beddy-bye in adapted farmhouses and banquet in country kitchens on aliment so acceptable you will affirm no added cuisine compares.
