Italy: The Faces of Italy
A comprehensive tour of Italy, focusing on its many "faces" - be they of the people, the architecture or the landscapes. We begin in Milan with its famous ancient architecture and equally famous modern fashion districts; we experience everyday Italian life at a marketplace in Turin; explore the labyrinth passageways of the medieval village of Triora; watch the modern production of olive oil; view the Italian Riviera; see modern agriculture in the Po Valley and watch how pasta is produced. Next, a visit to a famous restaurant in LaMorra; then Rome and all of its glorious past - the Colosseum, the Forum, the Pantheon. In the Apennine Mountains we visit Abruzzo National Park; then back to St. Peter's to attend a Sunday mass. We view Mount Vesuvius; then visit Siracusa and Mount Etna on the island of Sicily. Next, we follow the Appian Way across Italy, seeing olive groves and fishing villages; view famous sights of Florence, including Ponte Vecchio and Michelangelo's "David"; then we travel to Pisa to see the famous leaning tower, visit Juliet's Verona, view the monolithic Dolomites (Italy's Alps) in northern Italy and end our tour on an ancient Roman road.
