“Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.” – Bertrand Russell
With winter fast approaching, many of us definitely feel the gloom settling in and Russell’s words ring truer than ever. With first love in the past for most and spring taken care of, the only ingredient we seem to be missing is Italy, so it is with great pleasure that I showcase some of my favourite destinations this wonderful country has to offer, although the complete list is too long to fit in one lifetime, let alone one travel blog. It goes without saying that Rome, Venice and Florence are stunning cities to visit but Italy is a country where each and every corner is picture perfect and every moment is an ode to la dolce vita – the good life; what more can we ask from a holiday?
