.
Tuscany has experienced a renaissance as a coveted wine destination, with Florence as the main city attraction. It’s recognized for its status as one of the world's most exquisite regions. Beyond renowned areas like Chianti, this allure spans various corners of the region. Our new partner .events features a dynamic team ready to elevate your experience.

For wine enthusiasts, they craft an experience guiding you to the less-explored Super Tuscan wine regions, steering away from the iconic Toscana.

The Super Tuscan wine region, situated in Tuscany, is a haven for wine connoisseurs seeking diverse and exceptional blends. Renowned for differentiating itself from traditional Italian winemaking rules, Super Tuscans often incorporate non-traditional grape varieties, resulting in bold and distinctive flavors. Iconic estates like Sassicaia and Ornellaia contribute to a rich tapestry of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese blends that captivate the discerning palate. Exploring Super Tuscan vineyards unveils a dynamic fusion of tradition and innovation, creating an enticing journey for wine enthusiasts groups.

Warm welcome to hear from you and we’ll put you in contact with Emanuele, Jesse and the rest of their amazing team.

Film da vedere al CINEMA!!
Siamo contentissimi di aver partecipato come sponsor!

Durante una nottata in un casale nella campagna romana, dieci personaggi, perlopiù amici sui 30 e 40 anni, sono costretti ad un confronto a suon di attriti, incomprensioni e sorprese che li metteranno a più riprese uno contro uno, tutti contro uno e uno contro tutti.

When you visit Rome, be sure to explore three incredible sites that will amaze you.

Start with the Roman Forum, visiting Rome without walking around the Forum is like going to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Walk along the Via Sacra and imagine what it was like more than 20 centuries ago when Julius Caesar walked these paths. 🏛️

Next, don't miss the Colosseum, a symbol of Rome itself and one of the seven wonders of the modern world. This massive structure has nearly 2,000 years of stories to tell and gives you a glimpse into life at the time of the Roman Empire. 📸

And finally, there is the Trevi Fountain. It's not just any fountain; to us, it's the most beautiful fountain in the world. Whether bathed in daylight or softly lit at night, this fountain is never lonely, surrounded by admirers. ⛲

These three wonders will make your visit to Rome unforgettable, offering a journey through history, culture and pure beauty that everyone can appreciate.

The city of Venice is located on the Adriatic Sea in the north-eastern part of the country. The city itself is divided into six districts and some of the most famous islands are Lido di Venezia, Murano and Burano. The special thing about the city of Venice is that there are no normal roads in the city. There is a long bridge between the mainland and Venice. The Grand Canal is one of the widest canals. Due to the typical location of different parts of the city, the city is known for its bridges and squares. In addition to its infrastructure, there are also beautiful palaces, museums and churches to admire. Because of all these sights, Venice cannot be visited in a day, but you will definitely need longer to admire this beautiful place. Will Venice be your next holiday destination? 💙

Behind the scenes! 🎬
A while ago, one of our colleagues Debora was on the film set of Gli Ospiti. It is a feature film written and directed by Svevo Moltrasio. It is a choral comedy with unexpected twists and turns set in a farmhouse on the edge of Rome. Crowdfunding has been launched to provide support for the film.
