Enrico Massetti wrote this book with 30 images. Are you in Rome for a brief visit, and you want to see as much as possible of its millenarian beauty? If you have only two days available, you need this guide to tell you where to go, what to see, and where to eat during your visit. If you have only 48 hours, you must be willing to work hard to experience as much of Rome as possible. There is so much to see and experience in Rome that one lifetime would not be enough, two days are a brief visit, but I understand that real-life limits the use of your time. Enrico, therefore, prepared for you this itinerary; with it, you can have in the limited time of two days the whole experience of the eternal city. Extensive descriptions and color photos of the attractions are included for your visit to use during your stay. The guide is ideal for use on your smartphone or your tablet. It contains active links to the websites of train and air travel companies, so you can, with a click from the guide, check the latest schedule. It also lists many reviews for the best-recommended restaurants within walking distance from the location where lunch or dinner is planned.

Do you want to learn about Greece? So come to Sicily. It is a paradox, for sure, but only to a certain extent. The Greek cities of Sicily (Agrigento, Selinunte, Segesta, Syracuse, to mention the most important) were among the most beautiful of the Hellenic world. Nowadays, to visit the Valley of Temples at Agrigento or to watch a summer performance in the great Greek Theatre of Syracuse is to plunge yourself into the remote Hellenic past. And this is also true in Sicily for many other historical eras and civilizations, from the Spanish to the French. With the sole exception of Arab rule, that has left a scarce physical testimony. Sicily is a book of history and art history, a compendium of t...
Pisa is an ancient city, first Greek, then Etruscan and Roman; a great Maritime Republic and finally part of the Medici Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Pisa developed its own architectural style by blending classical and oriental forms. Magnificent Italian Gothic sculpture was also born at Pisa with Nicola Pisano's school which produced Giovanni Pisano, Arnolfo da Cambia, and Andrea and Nino Pisano. From the early 11th to the late 14th centuries Pisa was one of the most significant and most active Italian centers of art. Proof of this is the remarkable group of buildings constituted by the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Leaning Tower and the adjacent Cemetery which, in their perfect isolation, form one of the most solemn and enchanting corners in all of Italy. This is a guide to Pisa, for one day visit to the Piazza dei Miracoli and its famous Leaning Tower.

To most Italians, Milan is the unofficial capital of Italy and arguably the most interesting city in the country, where old and new meet in an ever-changing relationship. For all the places I list, I give you the URL of the website where you find more detailed information. Google gives you in the most relevant positions the websites of the companies spending more on advertising with them, not necessarily the ones that have the correct information. If you search for the opening hours of a certain basilica, for example, you could get something saying that they highly recommend a reservation, while entrance to the basilica is, in fact, always FREE. It's the website of a tour operator that invests in Google advertising to gain visibility. I give you unbiased, ad-free, accurate information. Milan is Italy's powerhouse, where the money is made. Money brings people, people create vibe and energy: Milan is the place where "things happen". Milan is internationally famous for its fashion and design, of course.
