| Florence, beautifully situated along the River Arno, is the birthplace of the Renaissance. Here you'll experience the art, culture, and vibrancy of the city of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Dante and Petrarca. From Florence you will travel to Rome, where you'll discover the glory of Rome, the culmination of the Renaissance in Vatican City, and the vibrancy that only Rome exudes. Visit the Piazza della Signora, the Ponte Vecchio, River Arno, and the Duomo. Take an excursion to the countryside and Villa Lilliano, where olive oil and wine have been produced by the same family for over 100 years, and where you'll enjoy lunch prepared with the villa's products. Journey back to the Roman Empire, with visits to the Collosseum, the Roman Forum, and Villa Borghese
marvel at the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Learn some Italian, take some cooking classes, and hear from the experts about the Renaissance, Roman history and architecture, the great artists.
