Experience Italy

11/06/2024

Hi Lori,

Italy did not disappoint the only downside as you predicted is knowing the surface only scratched. Imbued in thousands of years of civilization it’s hard to call out one moment of the “lasagna”.

Thanks to you and Lorena, Rod and I are now fans of the professional guide, especially Maria & Simona.

As well as our private drivers, each one helpful & courteous. Sebastiano got us to our train to Rome! Whew.

Hotels all good. Appreciated walkable locations for Rod and I. I loved the Damaso. Struggled with bed in Cortona.

Such a beautiful country and for us, we were happy with our choices of duration and location.

We were blessed with perfect weather and travel. No train strikes so we will need to return!

The only unintended thing I brought home was Covid, I’m so thankful it came on Sunday and not in the midst of our trip!

Caio Mille!

Castel Nuovo in Naples, Italy. The medieval castle was ordered built by Charles I of Anjou in the 13th century. It took the French engineers some three years to complete the castle. Charles however never had a chance to live it because of large scale riots in Sicily that killed some 4000 French. His son Charles II was the first to move into the castle. The castle was seriously reinforced during the reign of Alfonso V of Aragon to withstand canon balls. It has high walls and five towers three of which face the ground and two face the sea

The Mouth of Truth (Bocca della Verità) is a large, ancient marble mask located in Rome, Italy. 🇮🇹
The mask depicts a bearded face and was created around the 1st century AD during the Roman Empire. It is believed to have been part of a fountain crafted from Pavonazzetto marble. The artifact is thought to have been part of the Temple of Hercules Victor in the Forum Boarium; however, it’s currently located in the portico of the Santa Maria in Cosmedin church. It measures about 1.75 meters in diameter and is notable for its large, open mouth, which according to medieval legend, was believed to bite off the hand of anyone who told a lie while placing their hand inside.
