The Grand Art Cities

Italy's artistic heritage unfolds across cities that each speak a different visual language.

Imperial Rome, Franciscan Assisi, medieval Siena, Renaissance Florence and the luminous world of Venice form a route through centuries of European art and architecture. The journey is designed with a clear cultural focus but without losing the pleasure of the places themselves: lively squares, quieter neighbourhoods, local tables and changing regional landscapes.

It is equally suited to a private cultural journey or to groups united by an interest in art, history, architecture or faith.
