The Colosseum (Rome)
Once the public gathering site for countless Roman celebrations, exhibitions, sporting events and bloodshed, the massive stone amphitheater remains a vivid reminder of Rome’s epic glory days.
Venice Canal Historic District (Venice)
Noted for its man-made network of winding waterways, the Venice Canal Historic District was created in 1905 by Abbot Kinney as part of his “Venice of America” vision. In just minutes, a pedestrian walkway can guide you from the city’s hustle and bustle of traffic to the quiet charm of canal life, complete with its water buses, romantic gondolas and quaint waterfront homes.
Michelangelo’s “David” (Florence)
Standing at a towering 17 feet in height, Michelangelo’s marble masterpiece is as impressive to witness in person as one could imagine. A tourist favorite, especially among art enthusiasts, the iconic Biblical hero can be seen on display at Florence’s Galleria dell’Accademia.
Santa Maria delle Grazie (Milan)
A registered UNESCO World Heritage site, the Santa Maria delle Grazie, or “Holy Mary of Grace” perfectly illustrates European architecture and art. The renowned church is also home to one of the most identifiable and treasured artworks in the world: Leonardo da Vinci’s mural, “The Last Supper”.
Vesuvius National Park (Naples)
Established in 1995, the park centers around the historic Mount Vesuvius volcano, which, though mostly dormant, remains classified as active. Vesuvius National also focuses on animal and vegetation conservation, housing approximately 227 wildlife and 612 plant species.
Two Towers (Bologna)
The Two Towers, both of them tilted on an angle much like the one in Pisa, are the landmark symbols of Bologna. Asinelli Tower, the taller of the two, stretches to just over 97 m in height while Garisenda Tower stands at 48 m. Their names originate from the two rival families credited with building the towers during the early 1100’s in an attempt to determine which was superior.
