April 17oC 4oC 18 Scoppio del Carro

An Easter day tradition, see the majestic white oxen lead the wooden antique cart through downtown to reach the Duomo. Accompanied by a marching band and the Florentine Republic paraders dressed in period garb, this special celebration is one of the city's most loved and anticipated! At 11 am the dove takes off from the church altar and ignites the fireworks...let the pyrotechnic display begin!

May 21oC 9oC 33 Amalfi Coast to Capri Boat ExcursionWith beautiful mountains, cool water, history, and culture this boat excursion is amazing. If a private boat tour with drinks isn’t enough for you, there is even a point where you get out the boat and explore an island.

The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento is an extensive archaeological site containing the well-preserved remains of various Doric temples dating from the 5th century B.C.

24oC 12oC 42 Colosseum

The greatest remnant of the antiquity, the

archetypal amphitheater, an engineering wonder,

the epitome of architectural excellence, a standing

proof of both the grandeur and the cruelty of the

Roman world - the Colosseum has been dubbed

myriad ways, but there's just no way of grasping

their meaning until you see the blues of the sky

through the perfectly curved arches. Designed to

hold 50,000 spectators eager to watch the bloody

spectacle, today it annually draws around 5

million willing to verify its world-acclaimed

magnificence and never fails to make them catch

their breath.

October 18oC 7oC 38 Sassi di MateraCarved out of white tuff rock and baked by the Mediterranean sun, the Sassi form a city complex of prehistoric dwellings, many of which are mere caves located on the rooftops of other houses. A maze of underground labyrinths and caverns hides relics of such distant a time that one finds it hard to believe the city was built by men.

November 11oC 1oC 49 Ancient PompeiiBack in AD 79, Vesuvius was just a large hill to those who lived around the today's bay of Naples. Little did they realize that the immense cloud that cast over the eastern sky on a sunny August afternoon heralded the end of the prosperous Roman town, and the birth of splendor that its ruins are endowed with today. The excavations offer a glimpse into Roman life in the 1st century, frozen at the moment it was wrecked with pyroclastic flows and buried under layers of ash.

December 7oC -3oC 96 Hiking in snowThis is a great option for people who are hikers. It has the fun in hiking, but with a challenge in the way, snow. Beautiful views and cool white snow is what makes this activity so good
