Travels Through Lake Garda, Italy By : Steven Cronin “Your bill sir,” the waiter whispered with a gentle murmur of broken English. He spoke with a smile. He either expected a tip or had just broken wind. The consequences of the latter were too grim to bear so I settled up quickly and retreated to the waterfront.

Illuminations danced like fireflies upon the open water, enticing you into the lake to view the town from a differe...

Travel To Milan: A World Class City By : Frank Johnson A visit to Italy is not complete without traveling to Milan, Italy's international hub for fashion that would make the French jealous, culture that epitomizes European life and commerce that crowns this city the default capital over Rome.

Travel To Florence: An Ever-Blooming Retreat By : Frank Johnson In the first century BCE, the Romans appropriately renamed this former Etruscan town Florentia, or destined to flower.

The Hidden Tourist Attractions Of Rome By : Steven Cronin Countless words have illustrated the Colosseum, and its fearless gladiators; the Pantheon, and its gateway to the gods; and the Roman Forum, once heart of the mighty Roman Empire.

Rome: A Brief History By : Steven Cronin Rome has been synonymous with mythology since the birth of civilisation. Few places around the world conjure such colourful legends.

Lasting impressions of Roman architecture have survived right up to the present day, from the ruins of the Colosseum at the epicentre of Rome itself, to far... Italy: The Art Of Good Living By : Steven Cronin Most people’s perception of Italy is that of style, a country whose taste for the good life is matched only by its panache. The food is full of flavour, created with a desire to serve nothing but the best.

The History Of The Venetian Mask By : Steve Gink The history of the Venetian Mask is one which sounds as though it stems from fairytale or legend but which goes to show that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
