Here you can find it all, Greek ruins, Roman history, Renaissance art, the best of Baroque, and medieval fortresses and abbeys. But also a variety of landscapes, cities, food, fashion, music, wine and gelati. The Italian cuisine – don’t tell the French – is probably the best available and incredibly varied – not only pasta! If you go to the right places, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the r
eal Italian life. Italians, generally perceived to be a sophisticated, good living and good natured people, are generally friendly, exuberant and humorous, and away from the beaten tourist tracks, very welcoming. For us, at Genius Loci Travel, it is important that our clients will be able to perceive the ‘Real Spirit of Italy’ on our tours.
