Buongiorno, friends! 🇮🇹 Let me introduce you to the Fontana del Tritone! 🌊🐬
Located in the heart of Rome's Quirinale district, the Triton Fountain is a true masterpiece of Baroque architecture. Designed by the famous sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1642, it features Triton, the Greek god of the sea, blowing on a conch shell while sitting on a giant clamshell. 🎨 🐚The water flows from the shell and into the basin below, creating a mesmerizing effect. The Triton is surrounded by four dolphins, each spouting water from their mouths. 🐬💦
Not only is the Triton Fountain a stunning sight to behold, but it also has a rich history. It was commissioned by Pope Urban VIII to decorate the Barberini family's palace, and was later moved to its current location in Piazza Barberini. 🏛️

📍Fontane delle Rampe del Poggi.

Located the Arno River, the Fontane delle Rampe del Poggi is a beautiful collection of fountains and waterfalls created by architect Giuseppe Poggi in the late 1800s as part of his renovation of the city's fortifications.

But the true magic of the Fontane delle Rampe del Poggi lies in the way they cascade down the hillside, creating a peaceful oasis away from the bustling city. Follow the trickling water up the hill and you'll soon find yourself at Piazzale de Michelangelo, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in all of Florence.

From here, you can take in stunning panoramic views of the city, including the iconic red roofs of Florence and the majestic Duomo. It's the perfect spot to snap some photos, relax, and take a moment to reflect on the beauty of this historic city.

📍 Plaza Hotel Lucchesi

While in Florence I had the opportunity to stay at the beautiful Plaza Hotel Lucchesi. If you're looking for the best views of this stunning city, head to the rooftop of the Plaza Hotel Luchessi, where you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable panorama of the city's iconic landmarks.

The Plaza Hotel Lucchesi is a luxurious hotel situated in the heart of Florence, just a short walk from the famous Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. The hotel boasts a prime location, with easy access to all the city's main attractions, restaurants, and shops.

But the real highlight of the Plaza Hotel Lucchesi is undoubtedly its rooftop terrace, which offers a breathtaking view of Florence's skyline. From the terrace, you can admire the city's most famous landmarks, including the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Arno river.

I loved being able to sip on a Spritz while taking in the sunset over the city. It's the perfect way to experience the city's romantic atmosphere and beauty.

Looking for a unique way to experience Florence's wine culture? Look no further than the "buchetta del vino," (little wine doors) or wine windows, scattered throughout the city!

Dating back to the 17th century, these small, wooden windows were created during the bubonic plague as a way for wine merchants to sell their products without risking contagion. Today, the wine windows serve as a charming reminder of Florence's rich history and offer a fun, socially-distanced way to sample the city's delicious wines.

During my recent visit to the beautiful Babae wine window, I was transported back in time as I sipped on a refreshing glass of Vino Rosso and admired the stunning architecture that surrounded me. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a unique way to experience Florence, the buchetta del vino is a must see!

So next time you find yourself in Florence, don't miss the chance to explore this hidden gem of Italian wine culture. Cheers to new adventures and unforgettable experiences!

“A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.” – Arthur Symons
📍 Ponte dei Sospiri, Venezia

This beautiful bridge connects the Doge's Palace with the prison, and its name comes from the sighs of the prisoners who would cross it on their way to their cells.

But don't worry, there's nothing sad about this sight today! In fact, the Bridge of Sighs is one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in Venice. You can stroll along the nearby canals and take in the stunning views, or even take a gondola ride for the ultimate Venice experience.

Did you know that throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain is believed to bring good luck and ensure a return trip to Rome? Legend has it that if you toss one coin over your shoulder with your right hand, you'll return to Rome; two coins will bring love; and three coins will ensure marriage.

But it's not just about luck and legends - the Trevi Fountain is a stunning masterpiece of Baroque art and one of Rome's most iconic landmarks. The fountain was completed in 1762 and depicts Neptune, god of the sea, riding a chariot pulled by sea horses and tritons.
