A Glorious History

The north-east of Italy contains many of the country’s most precious treasures. It is a sumptuous area full of world-renowned natural beauty and man-made wonders, from the soaring peaks of the Dolomites and the lush flatlands of the southern Veneto to historic Verona and majestic Venice, the ultimate city of canals, gondolas and romance. Austrian-style buildings dot the mountainous northern landscape, contrasting with the more typical Roman ruins, which remind us of the centuries-long tug of war over control of these rich regions.
