Where to walk in Italy

  • Florence (2 tours): The town a bank turned into the Renaissance. A dome no one could build, bronze doors that lit the fuse, and an artisan quarter across the Arno still hammering behind unmarked doors.
  • Milan (4 tours): A banker's city with a bohemian heart and a taste for the future. A painters' quarter, canals Leonardo helped engineer, and a skyline that grows real forests in the sky.
  • Naples (3 tours): A hollow city on a Greek grid, quarried from the tufa beneath its own streets. One arrow-straight ancient cut, a labyrinth forty metres down, and a feared quarter rewriting itself from its catacombs up.
  • Rome (6 tours): A city stacked on itself, where a drained marsh became the center of the world and every church hides a temple below. Baroque fountains, medieval Trastevere, and stone that has never stopped being reused.
  • Syracuse (2 tours): A Greek colony on a small island, a Roman prize, a Spanish fortress and a baroque town: three thousand years of reuse. Walk a temple that holds up a cathedral, then a hill quarried and carved into a theatre.
  • Venice (4 tours): A corporation that floated on trade before it became a museum. The market that opens at dawn, the island where the word ghetto was born, and the quiet sestiere where light became painting.
