Description:
| From "Eternal" Rome, with its magnificent monuments and majestic past...to the dramatically beautiful seacoast of Amalfi...to the lively culture and commerce of Naples, this program offers you an unforgettable taste of Southern Italy. Cultures in this part of Italy, from the ancient Etruscans and Romans, have always produced beautiful things, and you'll see a vast and amazing collection of art and artifacts. The Amalfi coast--with some of the most striking scenery in all of Italy--will enchant you. And colorful Naples will leave you charmed. Learn more about the powerful Roman Empire in a morning lecture before you tour the city's extensive ruins. Travel to Ostia Antica, the port of ancient Rome, considered one of the finest ancient Roman sites. Visit the magnificent Villa Giulia, a harmonious collection of courtyards, loggias, gardens and temples, put together in a playful Mannerist style for Pope Julius III in the mid-16th century. Travel by coach to the port of Naples, the intellectual and commercial center of the south. Get a vivid picture of life in ancient Rome with a visit to spectacular Pompei. Explore the beautiful town of Caserta, known as the Versailles of Naples because of the Royal Palace built here by Charles III of Bourbon. Visit Villa San Michele, a charming villa set high on the island with lovely views of the sea. | |
