Italy holds a fascination for us, whether its the languorous lifestyle where time is taken to enjoy a good meal, beauty is appreciated and the simple pleasures in life are enjoyed, or the foundations of western art, architecture and culture were nourished over generations.
The culture of Italy varies greatly from region to region, province to province. Once a collection of city-states, Italian diversity stems from earlier occupations, geography and even familial connections. Venice, created on a series of manmade islands in the lagoon, was once a seafaring republic and the end of the Silk Road, more Byzantine than western. Florence, a major trade and banking center, was the flower of the Renaissance where its artistic and architectural treasures are the result of patronage of its wealthy merchants. Tuscan hill towns each have a unique history based on wool trading, banking or farming traditions and their allegiances to Florence or Siena. The towns of Umbria, like St. Francis’ Assisi, are often associated with spiritual movements. The Eternal City, Rome, has been an international city for over 2,000 years, serving as a capital of both imperial and Catholic empires. Naples, the preserved towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum are all influenced by the volatile Mt. Vesuvius while the beauty of the dramatic cliffs and islands of the nearby Amalfi Coast have drawn visitors for centuries. Further south, 
forming Italy’s heel, are the white towns and pristine beaches of Puglia. Just off the toe lies the fascinating and divergent culture of the island of Sicily, influenced by the Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Spanish and French. The complexity of this intricate patchwork quilt that is Italy may highlight the differences but Italians everywhere enjoy the sweet life, la dolce vita. Italy is a country that embraces its ancient traditions and modern sophistication, revealed in the aesthetic of its ceramics, leather, jewelry, artisanal traditions, regional cuisine, gardens and villas, modern art galleries, antique districts and fashion showrooms.
