Recommendations For Your 2010 Italian Vacation
“Why Italians Love to Talk About Food” by Elena Kostioukovitch is a very interesting book about Italian cuisine and its history. What’s even better is that it doubles up as a highly effective travelogue as well. So if you are foodie and a travel buff who might just vacation in Italy this year then you must absolutely read this book which has a foreword by none other than the great Umberto Eco. However if you do not care much for food and would just like to take in the best sights that Italy has to offer then this article might just provide you with the best tips that you are likely to get from anywhere else. Italy has been blessed with many great and varied vacation spots and it is entirely up to the personal tastes of the vacationers to decide how and in which places of Italy they would like to spend their vacation. There are big cities like Rome, Venice or Florence and then there are hilly areas, sandy beaches and quaint villages as well.
If you have a great interest in exploring art and history then the Piedmont region would be an ideal choice. It is home to the Egyptian Museum and the Royal Armory in Turin. At Vercelli you will find the Borgogna Museum which houses the works of many Renaissance painters. If you have been ever fascinated by the Alps then you should visit the Acosta Valley. From this area you will be able to view the Alps in all their glory. The Valley is surrounded by some exquisite peaks and is also home to the national park Gran Paridisio where you can find a variety of animals and birds like the chamois, ibex and eagles. You can also visit the capital city of Acosta and check out spots with historical significance. If castles fascinate you then you should drop in at Alto Adige which has the largest number of castles compared to any other region in Italy. Among the cities Milan is highly recommended for its Romanesque architecture. You can visit marvelous cathedrals palaces that were built during the Italian Renaissance. The Cathedral of Milan is a fine representation of Gothic architecture.
The island of Sardinia offers beautiful beaches facing the Mediterranean. Here you can also explore ancient cultures by visiting the Tombs of Giants, the nuraghi and the houses of the witches. Sicily is of course one of the most heavily promoted Italian destination. It is a beautiful island which offers a delightful combination of mountain peaks, sea beaches and hillside villages. Here you can also visit Etna which is an active volcano, the Valle dei Templi and ruins from the Hellenistic Age.
