Corner gelato shops are as ubiquitous in Italy as Starbucks cafés are in America.
Art, history, food, fashion, and culture; Italy has something for everyone. I’ve written about my experiences in Venice and Florence and will undoubtedly go into further detail about the Vatican and Rome later. Below, I’ve chosen one representative photograph from each stop on my tour of Italy.
Venice
Venice is comprised of more than one hundred islands connected by bridges, so walking and gondola rides are the most common modes of transportation.
Florence
From this vantage point at Michelangelo Square, you can see Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, and Florence Cathedral.
Pisa
Piazza del Duomo is the site of the Pisa Baptistry, Pisa Cathedral, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Vatican City
I can’t explain how excited I was to see one of my favorite sculptures, Laocoön and His Sons, on display at the Vatican Museums.
Rome
The view inside the Colosseum (which is also called the Flavian Amphitheatre by those in the ~know).
Bonus
Seriously—gelato is everywhere in Italy, and it’s amazing!
Beautiful pictures!
