Talks about Romantic Places in Italy.
The Italian Lake District
Crystal clear lakes, alpine views, charming villages and picture-perfect settings; the northern Italian lake district includes Lakes Como, Maggiore, Lugano, Iseo and Garda.
Lake Como
"This lake exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty" Percy Bysshe Shelley. Extravagant villas and quaint fishing villages, one hour north of Milan.
Borromean Islands/Lake Maggiore
A stop on the 19th century Grand Tour. Hemingway based part of a "Farewell to Arms" here.
Lake Garda
Winstron Churchill painted it and D.H. Lawrence wrote about it: Lake Garda's charming village of Gargnano.
Italian Alps
Part of the Austro-Hungarian empire until W.W.I., the Tyrolean section of the Italian Alps is a captivating coming together of two cultures, Austria and Italy.

Italy's high fashion, high style ski scene, nestled within the pink craggy peaks of the Dolomites. Home of the 1956 Olympics.
