Italy

Bologna is a city of brick, arcades and squares where university life coexists with a highly visible medieval past. Kilometres of porticoes shelter the streets, towers recall former family rivalries and markets keep the centre rooted in everyday life.

Catania spreads beside the Ionian Sea under the constant presence of Mount Etna. Earthquakes and eruptions destroyed and reshaped the city repeatedly, making nature central to its identity.

Florence spreads on both sides of the Arno through an extraordinary concentration of churches, palaces, sculpture and workshops. It was one of Europe’s great economic and artistic centres and played a decisive role in the Renaissance.

Genoa stretches between the Ligurian Sea and mountains dropping almost directly to the coast. Its geography produced lanes, stairs, lifts, funiculars and districts rising above one of the Mediterranean’s most important historic ports.

Milan is a capital of fashion, architecture and culture where parks, museums and trams balance the monumental centre. Family travel improves when only a few areas are selected, indoor visits alternate with open space and meals and rest receive real time. Its value lies in the particular relationship between landscape, history and daily life. A strong itinerary does not prove how many places were seen; it helps the family understand the destination without ending exhausted.
